Revitalization efforts

Like many rust belt cities, Syracuse has experienced population loss as residents move to the suburbs or pursue opportunities in other regions. This disinvestment in infrastructure and services is magnified in many urban neighborhoods. While the Northside has suffered in this vein, it remains a place recognized for its past and current assets, and its potential for sustainable, local development.

Multiple neighborhood residents, businesses, and organizations have been active in revitalization efforts for the neighborhood. These efforts have included garnering support and opportunity for local artists, [2] initiatives to improve the building stock, and improvements in housing options, to name a few. [3] St. Joseph’s Hospital, the neighborhood’s largest economic institution, is furthering the positive growth and development of the Northside. In 2009, St. Joseph's Hospital broke ground on a $220 Million expansion. [4]
