The longtime community newspaper, The Constitution/Urban CNY wrote its most recent cover story on the problem of vacant houses and SUN’s upcoming public meetings designed to pressure City Hall into action.
Editor and article writer Ken Jackson wrote:
“After the announcement of the Mayors’ new housing initiative there were those who thought it was a move in the right direction however those who inhabit some of the cities most challenged neighborhoods are responding with dismay. Syracuse United Neighbors, a neighborhood community advocacy group, staged a spirited protest on the steps of Syracuse’s City Hall against the seemingly endless list of dilapidated abandoned structures.”
Come on out to the meeting on Monday April 28th at 7 PM at St. Anthony’s Church Hall 1515 Midland Ave. The meeting will focus on demolitions. Next month, a second meeting will focus on rehabbing vacant houses for owner-occupancy.
