The primary focus of DESTINATION VICTOR NY short term is to identify and build up support for the 100's of "DESTINATION CONDUITS" that already exist in Victor, NY so that all involved will benefit. When defining what "Destination Conduits" ARE, we must first begin by stating what "Destination Conduits" ARE NOT. "Destination Conduits" are not what some local planners refer to as an "anchor". An "anchor", in our view, simply does not fully encompass or define what a hub of consumer activity is. We believe "Destination Conduits" are a more accurate assessment and description for the future goals of our wonderful Town and Village of Victor, NY. Destination "conduits" are all of those places in our community we might go to, which hopefully will then lead us on to visit still more nearby places and activities we KNOW OF... But that's the key, isn't it . . . that we must first be AWARE OF all of these great places and activities? Many of us need to get to know our own hometown better, and DESTINATION VICTOR NY is here to help with just that! So, what's a "Destination Conduit"? Well, a good example of this is how the "Victor Hiking Trails" folks will often meet up at the Victor-Farmington Public Library ("Destination Conduit A" ~ point of origin), then do a day hike on various beautiful, local trails ("Conduit B" ~ destination purpose), stop in at a local cafe/restaurant together as some of the participants commonly do ("Conduit C" ~ consequential destination), and then wrap things up back at the Library, perhaps stopping in for a nice book to read or use some of their other great resources ("Conduit A" ~ point of origin, having enjoyed the sights & sounds of Victor) before leaving for home or some other "destination conduit" along the way. We hope this is starting to make more sense... The point of all this, you ask? Well, it's simply as eluded to above, we need to find more ways of helping folks become more aware of and how to find all of these great places, and fun and interesting activities . . . more ways of encouraging those in and around Victor, and those just visiting or coming through our fine Town, to spend more time here enjoying what we as a community have to offer; and, thereby, help our economy to grow and flourish. We'll be explaining more as this begins to develop but basically those involved don't want Victor, NY to be considered just a "Gateway" to something/somewhere else; but rather, a destination place that leads to another destination, that leads to yet another destination . . . all "conduits" in their own right regarding the plethora of reasons why Victor, NY will more often become THE DESTINATION OF CHOICE when people are looking for a place to spend some of their valuable time and resources.
