Gananda, New York

Gananda is a small "master planned community" (and census-designated place)^[1] in Wayne County, New York, United States, approximately twenty minutes outside the city of Rochester. Gananda is considered a community because it does not have its own zip code; it consists of a small portion of the adjoining towns of Walworth and Macedon. While originally designed to be a city with upwards of 90,000 residents, the removal of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding brought about its current design with fewer than 6,500 residents.^[2]
