From lighting iconic buildings to expanded outdoor seating, historic preservation projects and mixed use redevelopment of underutilized buildings, 56 Connective Corridor round one and two façade improvement projects are changing the face of Syracuse.  You’ll be impressed at the diversity and creativity of the projects.

See a photo sampler here.

There are more projects underway this spring and summer, so keep watching as improvements keep taking shape along with the Corridor complete streetscape reconstruction.  You’ve seen many of the projects that have added color to the street, but you may have not have noticed others that have helped preserve important local historic assets.  Very soon you’ll see beautiful buildings being illuminated – the spire of St. Paul’s Cathedral, the turret of the MOST, Onondaga Tower, the CNY Philanthropy Center, and the gorgeous windows of University Methodist Church.

Round three is the last CC façade improvement grant round, so we’re looking for some special projects to fund.  Do you have one?  If so, check the program guidelines here.
