About CGR
Founded in 1915, CGR has been providing support to the public, nonprofit and private sectors for over a century. Originally incorporated as the Rochester (NY) Bureau of Municipal Research, Eastman Kodak founder George Eastman created CGR with a mandate to “get things done for the community.” Although our passion for delivering promising solutions has never changed, both the geographic area and clients we serve have broadened dramatically. Today we have a national reach and can be found working with a diverse range of agencies, organizations and communities.
