I never thought their beer was that good. The amber was decent, but the rest of the lineup wasn't particularly interesting or notable.
A few more bankruptcies and he'll be ready to run for high public office.
I think they can but it would be expensive. It means if they raise the bridge they need to raise the tracks earlier (maybe starting miles before the bridge) so it is not as steep as it otherwise would be.
It’s definitely Amazon right? There have been a bunch of recent commercials about how great it is to work in an Amazon factory. I’m assuming those are local ads.Welcome to Syracuse Amazon

"Logistics experts and many people in the community believe the tenant will be Amazon, the world’s largest online retailer, because of the tremendous size of the building. Trammell Crow has said only that it is being designed to fit the needs of e-commerce companies and retailers.
Laigaie said Wednesday night the company plans to seek construction bids in a few weeks. Once it gets those bids, it will be able to let potential tenants know what the rental rates will be for the facility. He said he expects the company to sign a lease and announce the tenant in the first quarter of 2020.
“So many people want to know,” he said. “We’d like people to know, too. We’d like to know.”
Though the project is receiving substantial tax breaks, it will pay $28 million in property taxes over the 15-year payment-in-lieu-of-tax agreement it has with the industrial development agency. That’s 35 times the taxes that would be paid on the property if it remained a golf course.
It hasn't yet been announced who the tenant is but Amazon is the general consensus given the size of the building. I've seen those ads too and was wondering the same.
Owning a home in the city proper is affordable given the property tax rate but you won't be living high on the hog making $30k a year unless there are two income earners. It's not a lot of money but it comes with benefits and it's better than minimum wage.
it's more in property tax then what the current owners are paying and while I understand the dismay of having to move the Liverpool golf team to another course, with the amount of $$ I pay in school tax they could build their own course.
Don't give them any ideas.

Meeting tonight on the proposed changes to the parkway and as you can imagine the Liverpool residents are not happy about it
Liverpool pushes back on Onondaga Lake Parkway changes
About 100 people came to ask state officials about a proposal to change Onondaga Lake Parkway. They left disappointed.
"Liverpool, N.Y. – More than 100 people came to a public meeting tonight, many with the hopes of asking state transportation officials direct questions about proposed changes to Onondaga Lake Parkway.
Yet they left disappointed.
An official from the Department of Transportation gave a 45-minute presentation about the changes, which includes reducing parts of the parkway from four lanes to two. But Ed Rodriguez, a DOT assistant regional design engineer, declined to stay for a public hearing to address questions from village residents and business owners.
“To have him leave right now, that’s not an interactive meeting,” said Bill Storm, a Liverpool resident for more than three decades. “It seems like it’s a one-sided initiative.”
During a 90-minute public hearing that followed, no one spoke in favor of the state’s proposal to take the two-mile parkway from four lanes to two. Instead, they have other ideas they say could make the parkway better:
Liverpool Mayor Gary White told the crowd he wasn’t surprised. “That’s what happened at the last meeting as well,” White said.
- Impose high fines for trucks that try to slip under a low-height railroad bridge that’s the source of some accidents.
- Add an even shorter overhead pedestrian bridge connecting Onondaga Lake Park with Heid’s, another obvious barrier that would keep taller vehicles off the road.
- Enforce the current speed limit, especially at night.
- Ban all commercial vehicles from the parkway.
The DOT is proposing to change the parkway and two other major intersections in the village. The $8.6 million project is needed, DOT officials say, to make the parkway safer. Currently, it has fatality rates 10 times higher than other similar roads, state officials say."
