About Glenn

Glenn Kellogg

Glenn’s career demonstrates his passion for the built environment and the conditions that shape it. For twenty years he has been working to support the revitalization of historic, walkable neighborhoods and development of SmartGrowth projects. Working in communities around the country with Urban Advisors he has helped create Downtown and Neighborhood Masterplans, Comprehensive Plans, Form Based Codes and Revitalization Strategies. In 2021 Glenn incorporated as G. Kellogg & Co in Washington, DC to continue this work, and more.

Planning isn’t enough for him. Glenn is also an agent for change, implementing ideas, building community, and getting things done. In 2012 Glenn instigated the Rochester Improvement Society: a thinly veiled drinking club that brought together champions of the city. The relationships this built helped connect earnest people and break down silos between organizations. Around the same time he formed Rochester Local Capital to invest in local businesses. And in 2014 he launched Hart’s Local Grocers, downtown’s first full service grocery store in 20 years. In 2015 he supported friends and developers staging Retailent Rochester, a “shark-tank” format storefront business competition with the prize of free rent for a year. He is proud to have been a founding board member of the Incremental Development Alliance, supporting small developers breathing life back into their neighborhoods.
