Development in and Around Syracuse Discussion

Bill Fisher is wicked smart. Smart to keep him in place.

Absolutely. He's an immediate upgrade.

And you care about the "public good" meaning when it is something that you like and are interested in.

98% of Syracusans could care less about the trail just like 98% of the area could care less about minor league baseball in a terribly located stadium that cost several millions of dollars.

I would like hard numbers of how many people use the trail before anyone spends another dollar on it. I am guessing that more people go to one concert at the AMP than actual people that use the trail in a year.

Many people frequent that trail everyday.

Over who or what? Only had limited dealings with him but he comes across as a pompous expert ...on everything.

Over Joanie, he's got a few better qualities than she has. A low bar, I know.

That's got to be one of the flimsiest "agreements" ever so enthusiastically reported.

I am in the minority I know but the county needs to look at this harder and I hope the state does too. I am not sure this investment makes sense.

I believe the state threw that "news" out yesterday to take a little attention away from the county executive.

Wow. Interesting. Ryan McMahon wasn't shy about getting in line to replace her.

Onondaga County lawmakers back chairman; first override of Joanie Mahoney since 2009

What makes the announcement even more interesting is that if she had resigned a week earlier or before, a special election would have been mandated. No special election to replace Onondaga County Exec Joanie Mahoney this year

It's not as much interesting as it is obvious as to why she chose to announce this now.

How many?

Let me see some numbers so I can see the taxpayers ROI.

I use it often, and there is typically 20 or more people on the trail when im there. Not sure why people are opposed to park trails lol. Are you living in the area, or just complaining about positive growth here?

 

[CuseLegacy]

This is going back a little bit in time.

Lets see numbers on every park and trail for every city in NYS. Ill hang up and listen.

Now it's easier for Joanie to do Cuomo's dirty work with this new state job.

What's "hard to believe" is that they gave the property to Moonbeam Capital in the first place. It's been something like 4 years, and they haven't brought a single new tenant to the mall.

One of their former leasing guys is out working to get the remaining stores out of there and into locations on Erie, Bridge St. or out in Fayetteville.

apparently moonbeam buys distressed properties all over the place. I'm wondering what their endgame was here? Do they get any benefit losing the property in a tax auction?

They already lobbied for a property tax reduction (a major one, by the way) when they acquired the place in its last bankruptcy auction. Moonbeam will lose any investment they've made in the property (which has been none), so they can pretty much walk away instead of paying the $7M they owe in taxes for a property that doesn't have any tenants who pay them any significant rent except for the movie theater.

I ubered a guy who works for Pyramid brokerage, he said the owner is just squeezing money out until all tenant agreements are up. They will then let the land sit there and do nothing. He said Great Northern will be doing the same within 2 years. Awful.

Check. Yeah, the theft has been accomplished and the $100 million for the downtown stadium has been given the green light. (Link seems to be working now)

I live in the area.

Did you read any of the previous back and forth posts with myself and the other poster or are you jumping in with no knowledge of what we were talking about.

If not, go back and read and you will understand my comment.

Not going to summarize 3 months of posts for you.
