ROCHESTER, N.Y. (Nov. 7, 2024) – Greenlight Networks (“Greenlight”), the leading fiber-to-the-home provider in New York State, was named the third fastest-growing private company in the Greater Rochester and Finger Lakes region. The ranking was revealed at the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce 38th annual Top 100 celebration held Wednesday, Nov. 6, at the Floreano Convention Center. The Chamber recognized the region’s top employers for 2024 that demonstrated innovation, economic growth and lasting community impact.

Founded and headquartered in Rochester, N.Y, Greenlight Networks delivers sought-after high-speed fiber internet service to residential, small business and multi-dwelling customers across New York State. With a growing network footprint within the Greater Rochester area—including recent build outs in Webster, Greece, Gates, Chili and the village of Hilton—and additional expansion projects within Albany, Binghamton, Buffalo and the Hudson Valley region, Greenlight is now accessible to more than 200,000 households and nearly 10,000 businesses. Greenlight offers multi-gig service offerings up to 8 gig and a transparent pricing model that has aided in the organization’s unprecedented customer satisfaction rating.

While Greenlight has consistently been honored on the Top 100 list, this marks the first time Greenlight has earned a spot among the top 10, marking a significant milestone for the organization.

“As a company originally born and built in Rochester, we’re proud to be part of this region’s economic growth story and we appreciate being honored alongside many innovative employers making a real difference in this community,” said Mark Murphy, CEO of Greenlight Networks. “Our company’s significant growth over the years is a reflection of the tremendous demand for high-speed fiber and our team’s continued dedication to bringing this essential service to more families and businesses. The Top 100 ranking truly belongs to our entire team, those who have worked tirelessly to meet the community’s needs within Rochester and beyond.”

Every year, the Greater Rochester Chamber Top 100 Awards recognizes the fastest growing privately owned companies in the nine-county Greater Rochester and Finger Lakes region. This year’s list spans diverse industries, from technology and manufacturing to construction and professional services, demonstrating the robust and varied nature of the region’s economy. The 2024 Greater Rochester Chamber Top 100 list represents a significant economic force in the region, with the recognized companies generating a combined revenue of nearly $5 billion and employing more than 20,000 people.

“Our Top 100 companies are powerful engines, contributing to and growing our regional economy. Their successes are powered by their employees, their leadership, and of course their customers,” said Bob Duffy, President & CEO, Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce. “In spite of the challenges faced at the micro and macro levels, these companies are thriving and growing, hiring more employees and creating more opportunities. We are all grateful for their contributions to this region and the people who call it home.”

To be eligible for the Top 100 ranking, companies must be privately owned, headquartered in the region, and have earned at least $1 million in revenue in each of the three most recent fiscal years. Rankings are calculated based on both dollar and percentage revenue growth.
