"The City of Syracuse has filed paperwork in State Supreme Court asking a judge to allow the city to join the defense against a lawsuit that has, so far, paused the I-81 project.

Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh announced Friday, November 25...

"Syracuse residents are being harmed by unnecessary delays in the Interstate 81 project, so the City is compelled to seek participation in this action," said Mayor Walsh. "We want to ensure the court is aware of the extensive support that exists in Syracuse and Central New York for removal of the I-81 viaduct. The focus should be on proceeding with the project for the benefit of the City and its residents – not impeding progress and thwarting the ability of local people to access jobs and opportunities resulting from the project."

At what point can the city/state start counter suing these groups? They are stalling tens of millions of dollars of development and frankly putting lives at risk the longer this drags on.

Haha I believe that already exists as a pedestrian walkway. They just added signage to it. The only hazard it posed was to the Gumby balloon in the St. Patrick’s Day parade.

Syracuse landmark near downtown to be turned into apartments

The five-story structure once served as a grain warehouse.
www.syracuse.com www.syracuse.com

"Syracuse, N.Y. -- A landmark building built in 1893 as a grain warehouse is set to join the many historic Syracuse buildings that have been turned into apartments.

The VIP Structures engineering and architectural firm plans to convert One Webster’s Landing into 34 one-bedroom market-rate apartments, according to plans submitted to the city.

The five-story brick building sits off North Salina Street, between interstates 81 and 690. Formerly known as the Marshall building, it was purchased by VIP in 1986. The firm turned the building into its headquarters, featuring exposed timber framing, brick arched windows and doorways, and a private outdoor patio."

A building that would be torn down with a new viaduct.

I would be OK with Onondaga county incorporating the surrounding towns and villages into a metro area and eliminating these crackpots. I don't see how they had standing enough to get a judge to look at the lawsuit let alone grant an injuction, but I'm not well-versed in upstate crackpottery. Like 307 posted, this is has been going on since I was in college and won't be completed until I'm retired and living in the Bahamas with my crypto loot.

Imagine living in Dewitt - which just did tax reassessments raising the taxes of thousands of property owners - and seeing that the town is now spending your tax dollars on this frivolous nonsense.

Same with Town of Salina. So we're dumping money down the rabbit hole because of Pilot Gas and 3 hotels. Good. Good.

Look up the judge.

From a colleague: "He's not interested in the law. Or the facts."

Cazenovia College to close after nearly 200 years

The college cited financial reasons for the closure.
www.syracuse.com www.syracuse.com

"Cazenovia, N.Y. -- Cazenovia College said Wednesday it will permanently close after its spring 2023 semester.

The private Madison County college, which started 199 years ago as the Genesee Seminary, cited financial difficulties for the pending closure.

“We’re deeply disappointed that it has come to this,” Ken Gardiner, chair of the Cazenovia College Board of Trustees, said in a statement. “Considerable time and effort have been spent on improving the college’s financial position over the past several years. Unfortunately, the headwinds and market conditions were insurmountable, leading to a projected deficit of several million dollars for next year.”

Sad. I visited there as a HS senior and considered going there. Beautiful campus.
 
Cazenovia College:

Gotta assume the college will be redeveloped.

Any ideas being floated around CNY?

Could be a great way to add thoughtful density to the village, which could really boost a pretty limited downtown strip.

Their recent history isn't encouraging, though.

Anyway, it's probably a net loss culturally and economically. It's an opportunity, but not really one I'd want a community to have to deal with.

I assume condos and an extended stay motel are no brainers.

I'd love if a residence technical training center could be developed for upstate corporations.

That is a hyper-specific idea. Think there's demand? Know anybody interested?

No inside knowledge but those corporations could instead be for private companies and/or state government divisions that need tradesmen.

I hope something gets figured out within a year.

That seems like a field that would be a great fit with the local labor market - I love it. I'll ask around, see if anyone's been kicking the tires.
