Development in and Around Syracuse Discussion

[VTAaron]

Problem is the person behind great northern doesn’t have the resources that the people behind shopping town do

This is true... One thing about the Dewitt area is the planning board and individuals there do not do anything unless they got a plan, and the usually do it with $$$ behind them. Clay on the other hand is a misnomer considering it is on the outskirts but Micron may change that especially with the mall. I can see Great Northern becoming similar to a Township5, but bigger and a better residential area too, apartments etc. Since it is already commercial/developed it would be easier for permissions and permits as well.

I think there's more to the story. I'm betting they had trouble behind the scenes. I took my wife and daughter there a couple weeks ago for a burger and it was bloody awful. I mean, how badly can you mess up a burger, or french onion soup?

This was one of my favorite places to eat when in the area for work years ago

 

[VTAaron]

Agreed...it will be awesome though to have one when it finally opens

IKEA HERE? UG... landfills full of more press board

At least it will deteriorate and break down rapidly.

Stunning restoration (also love the work at Hotel Syracuse). Brings back good memories (graduation)!

Pretty sure that is where I saw the black and white, silent film, 'Napoleon' back in the late 70s, with the Syracuse symphony orchestra playing the entire 3.5 hours. One of the best cultural events I ever attended.

You know that Chick-fil-A that just opened...

The Town of Dewitt wouldn't approve the plans unless the developer paid to widen Bridge St and install the new traffic light upfront.

Yup, I use to do computer work in the area back in the early 2000's and knew alot of the players then... It is still true to this day. Thanks for correcting my post not the $$ behind but the $$$ upfront HA!

After 2 court wins, county moves to seize former Macy’s at ShoppingTown Mall

Onondaga County owns all of the dead mall except the former Macy's and Sears stores.

Syracuse and Boise both in the Top 4. Wonder what they have in common?

Yea but, there are still many non believers.

Yeah I don’t know when people will start believing. Micron presented plans for on site rail yard last week. That approval will be a huge step, will allow trains to bring in the insane amount of commercial grade fill needed for the site.

A lot of the biggest cities were replaced by comparatively smaller cities on that list.

That's what caught my eye.

It’s not necessarily believing. It’s people on both ends of the horseshoe rooting for it to fail.

I’m sure this was posted somewhere, but relevant.

No way on Columbus OH. Flat and ugly, terrible crime rate and your surrounded by OSU lunatics.
