East Adams Project

State funding announced by Governor Kathy Hochul or $271 million will support two Syracuse housing projects. Jensen Ave Apartments and East Adams development will add 518 units, many for low income.

The groundbreaking carries more meaning for public housing residents who've lived with the damage caused by urban renewal.

The $102 million East Adams phase one includes a four-story, 125-unit mixed-income complex.

Common Councilors are expected to approve a land swap that gives the city site control for the center.

The $31 million Children Rising Center was the signature project of Blueprint 15 and the larger $1 billion East Adams Neighborhood project.

The $1 billion project reimagines the former 15th Ward with new housing units and new neighborhood amenities.
