The Onondaga County Aquarium project took a public step forward Tuesday. Officials launched an official website and social media channels.
Leaders say the platforms will provide updates on construction progress, exhibits, and conservation efforts. They will also share information about memberships and job opportunities.
Supporters describe the aquarium as a major addition to tourism in Central New York. They say it could help drive development in the Inner Harbor area.
The project has faced criticism for rising costs and limited public information to date. Some lawmakers and residents have questioned funding and oversight.
Despite controversy, construction continues. County officials say the aquarium will be an educational attraction with immersive, hands-on experiences focused on aquatic life.
