We are—here’s the latest on several preservation issues SCORECARD around the region. by Cynthia Howk Mary Clark Thompson Chapel at Woodlawn Cemetery SAFE 130 North Pearl Street, City of Canandaigua, Ontario County Established in 1884, Woodlawn Cemetery features this stunning Gothic Revival chapel, dedicated in 1910, but little used since 1960. The cemetery’s board of directors, along with superintendent Doug Stone, launched a restoration project in 2013, with private fundraising and a $315,000 NYS preservation grant. The five-year project included repairs to the roof, structural needs, stained glass restoration and a complete interior rehabilitation; coordinated by Bero Architecture, PLLC, with technical assistance from The Landmark Society of Western New York. With its historic Hook & Hastings pipe organ soon to be re-installed, the chapel is now available for concerts, weddings, lectures, worship, funerals and other events. Rick’s Auto Service/Former Dr. Josiah Bennett Residence OUT 4051 West Main Street, Hamlet of Williamson, Wayne County Originally built in 1838 by Dr. Josiah Bennett, this handsome Greek Revival residence is one of Wayne County’s most sophisticated examples of cobblestone masonry construction. After Dr. Bennett’s death in 1850, the house was acquired by Dr. Westal Willoughby Ward, who had his office nearby. With changing modes of transportation and the need to provide repairs for automobiles, the house was converted into a service station about 1931 and continued as such into the early 21st century. Over the past several years, the now-vacant building has experienced accelerated deterioration and, with the collapse of the roof and parts of the exterior walls, is unlikely to survive much longer. Former Knowlesville United Methodist Church TOO CLOSE TO CALL 3622 Knowlesville Road Hamlet of Knowlesville, Orleans County Located just east of Medina, this late-19th-century church is an important historic resource in this canal-side hamlet. Highlighted with decorative stained glass windows, the brick, Romanesque Revival building is now “for sale,” as capital improvements, a new furnace and the creation of handicap accessibility were too costly for the current congregation, which now meets in the fellowship hall across the street. In December, the church was de-consecrated and is available for a new tenant, which could include religious, retail, commercial or heritage tourism activities.

    Syracuse Transit System Analysis Prepared For: NYSDOT CENTRO Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Council January 2014 The I‐81 Challenge Syracuse Transit System Analysis This report has been prepared for the New York State Department of Transportation by: Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. Prudent Engineering In coordination with: Central New York Regional Transportation Authority (CENTRO) Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Council The I‐81 Challenge Executive Summary of the Syracuse Transit System Analysis I. Introduction The Syracuse Transit System Analysis (STSA) presents a summary of the methodology, evaluation, and recommendations that were developed for the transit system in the Syracuse metropolitan area. The recommendations included in this document will provide a public transit system plan that can be used as a basis for CENTRO to pursue state and federal funding sources for transit improvements. The study has been conducted with funding from the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) through The I‐81 Challenge study, with coordination from CENTRO, the Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Council (SMTC), and through public outreach via The I‐81 Challenge public participation plan and Study Advisory Committee (SAC). The recommendations included in this system analysis are based on a combination of technical analyses (alternatives evaluation, regional modeling), public survey of current transit riders and non‐riders/former riders, meetings with key community representatives, and The I‐81 Challenge public workshops. The STSA is intended to serve as a long‐range vision that is consistent with the overall vision of the I‐81 corridor being developed as part of The I‐81 Challenge. The STSA will present a series of short‐term, mid‐term, and long‐ term recommendations detailing how the Syracuse metropolitan area’s transit system could be structured to meet identified needs in a cost‐effective manner.

  • Levens to Improve Thornden Park
    THE NOTTINGHAM CONNECTION 3100 East Genesee Street Syracuse, New York 13224 SPRING 2010 Nottingham Commemorates World AIDS Day The Nottingham chapter of the Teen Aids Task Force (TATF) commemorated World AIDS Day by displaying several panels from the Syracuse NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt on December 1st. Each panel was made locally to commemorate a loved one lost to AIDS. The entire display filled a large part of the school li- brary. It included posters, pictures of TATF teens, and HIV Q&A. A panel was set up for students to sign their names and leave short messages. A “Common Threats” movie played in one corner of the room. The display was a collaboration between ACR and the Student Leadership Class, run by TATF advisor Janice Hammerle. Close to 400 people viewed the display. Levens To Improve Thornden Park Dorsey Levens (’89) visited the Greater Syracuse Chamber of Commerce in the fall of 2009 to discuss plans for improvements to Thornden Park. Dorsey, who retired as a football player for the Green Bay Packers, played for the Sherman Park Bulldogs in Thornden Park, the city’s second-largest park. He plans, through the Dorsey Levens Foundation, to make Thornden into the first “green” park in New York state by making sure all improvements are environmentally sound. Some of the areas needing improve- ments and repairs are the athletic field, basketball courts, tennis courts, and amphitheater stage. The goal is to restore the park to provide a safe place for children and adults to enjoy. Dorsey has rallied other SU greats including Jim Boeheim and Carmelo Anthony.

  • Syracuse University Is Driven by Its Vision, Scholarship in Action—A
    SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY ENGAGEMENT PROJECTS INTRODUCTION Syracuse University is driven by its vision, Scholarship in Action—a commitment to forging bold, imaginative, reciprocal, and sustained engagements with our many constituent communities, local as well as global. We construe SU as a public good, an anchor institution positioned to play an integral role in today’s knowledge-based, global society by leveraging a precious commodity—intellectual capital—with partners from all sectors of the economy: public, private, and non-profit. Each partner brings its strengths to the table, where collectively we address the most pressing problems facing our community. In doing so, we invariably find that the challenges we face locally resonate globally. We understand that this represents an expansive definition of the role of a university, but as the Kellogg Commission has observed, it is incumbent upon universities today "to reshape our historic agreement with the American people so that it fits the times that are emerging instead of the times that have passed.”1 Today, in a world in which knowledge is paramount, we believe that we best fulfill our role as an anchor institution in our community when: • We educate fully informed and committed citizens; • We provide access to opportunity; • We strengthen democratic institutions; • We create innovation that matters, and we share knowledge generously; • We inform and engage public opinion and debate; and • We cultivate and sustain public intellectuals. Serving the public good in these ways pervades our daily decision making and connects us not just with our immediate community, but with communities throughout the world. These connections vividly demonstrate for our students, faculty, staff, and community members what it means to be an educated, responsible citizen in the 21st century.

  • City of Syracuse
    Downtown Revitalization Initiative Application Template Applications for the Downtown Revitalization Initiative will be received by the Regional Councils. Applicant responses for each section should be as complete and succinct as possible. Applications must be received by the Central NY Regional Economic Development Council by 4:00 PM on June 14, 2017. Submit your application as a Word Document to [email protected]. BASIC INFORMATION Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) Region: Central New York Municipality Name: Syracuse Downtown Name: Downtown Syracuse County: Onondaga Vision for Downtown. Provide a brief statement of the municipality’s vision for Downtown revitalization. Downtown Syracuse is the heart of our City and its resurgence serves as a model for neighborhood redevelopment initiatives city-wide. While considerable investment in several key projects has helped the city reclaim vibrancy over the past 10 years, Downtown Syracuse still has room to grow. The urban core lacks connectivity between strategic investments in Armory Square and the new Convention District; investing in the space between these success stories is necessary to catalyze additional investment and capitalize on previous success. Through the $10 Million Downtown Revitalization Initiative, Downtown Syracuse will prioritize investments in projects that create a defined sense of place on the southern end of Downtown, strategically filling in market gaps and championing a higher quality of life for all Downtown residents, employees, and visitors, and connecting to important neighborhood gateways to the south and west. Justification. Provide an overview of the Downtown, highlighting the area’s defining characteristics and the reasons for its selection. Explain why the Downtown is ready for Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) investment, and how that investment would serve as a catalyst to bring about revitalization.
