I'm not sure either unless the logic is that these sites will get some kind of PILOT. I think it's more that they're worried about the people that will be occupying these apts because they will be subsidized.
Ant they will be lucky to last another 5 years with or without the grid.

Micron is just a convenient excuse for them. Given its location, I don't see how that changes the plan.These people have lost their damn minds. Start over?!
Arguments heard on lawsuit against the community grid, the wait for a decision begins
New York State Supreme Court Justice Gerard Neri heard nearly three hours of arguments in the case brought by a group hoping to stop the $2 billion dollar proje
"We were in the court room for the hours-long hearing which is likely the last time in this case we'll hear much until Judge Neri comes to a decision. He’ll have to decide if he’ll side with the group suing the dot, or allow the community grid project to move forward once again.
The "DOT's analysis was rational. It's experts looked at all of the data, including, and looked at petitioners comments and the proposals that they put forward. And rationally concluded that the community grid alternative would best serve the needs of the Syracuse community," said Meredith Lee-Clark, who is representing the state in the case.
Alan Knauf, who represents Renew 81 for All along with his team, said "the smartest thing to do would be to go back to the drawing board and do the supplemental EIS for Micron. Everybody wants the Micron project, and we don't want it to be a failure because we can't get people to work."

Don't worry, the new phase will be here momentarily, indoor canal and waterpark and roller coaster, casino, monorail, rocket ships and 700,000 sf of retail space. $80k/year jobs for everyone!
At least it is in a good location for when it dies. Could be a great re-development mixed-use spot.
Actually Micron to me means they should plan to add extra lanes on the the 481 loop...at the the very minimum all the overpasses should be built extra wide with lane expansion in mind. If 100K+ new residents arrive over the next decade or two...the road will need to be expanded.
Very valuable land. I can re-imagine tearing some of it down. Still major retail but also more market rate apartments and extended stay lodging too
Do one instead of Rt 31 (which is a sh!tshow) and exit off I-81 to 481
Wow...ok
Right. But none of that changes which plan to select (bridge, tunnel, raised highway, sunken highway). I agree that with Micron, it will have some impact on many roads but not the overall plan selected.
I think adding a new exit north of the Rte 31 Cicero exit to enter the new micron area more from the north would help.
