Syracuse Neighborhood Initiative Vote Today


The Syracuse Common Council will vote today on spending $600,000 for housing initiatives in Eastwood and the South Side.

Most of the money, $500,000, comes from the sale of the Trolley Lot from the city to Onondaga County. This money is proposed to be used for the construction of five residential properties by Home Headquarters, Inc. According to the Syracuse Common Council agenda, these properties are located at 111, 135, 152, 217, and 229 West Kennedy Street.

This project is part of the Syracuse Neighborhood Initiative, which "is working to improve the quality of life in Syracuse neighborhoods by involving residents in efforts to make their communities better, healthier environments."

Reporter Maite De La Rosa will have the results of the Common Council meeting, and what this means for neighborhood, later this afternoon.
