housing development

Conifer Realty recently won the town council’s approval with its multi-use development plan boasting apartments, hotels, medical hubs, and shops.

Five projects received funding under the O-CHIP program that will add nearly 450 housing units.

15th district legislator Maurice Brown is holding a town hall meeting on Monday, March 18th at the Westcott Community Center.

Karen DeWitt spoke with the Senate’s Housing Committee chair, who says the plan revives a mid 20th century affordable housing initiative and provides tax breaks for developers and some tenant protections.

A previous plan that would have created 800,000 new housing units fell through during 2023 budget negotiations.

The Syracuse Housing Trust Fund Corporation would fill gaps not being met through other programs or funding sources.

Advocates for more housing are praising Governor Kathy Hochul's plan to build 800,000 more units.

The City of Syracuse is hoping to make significant progress this spring by filling vacant lots with new, affordable housing.

Legislator Charles Garland, who represents the 16th district which includes Syracuse's Southside, said the housing development is part of an agreement between him and McMahon.

Despite having a confirmed developer, at least one city councilor remains hesitant about moving forward.
