The Syracuse Common Council is currently reviewing plans for a new housing project at the former Syracuse Developmental Center site. According to the Albanese Organization, the demolition of the former center is expected to be completed by the end of the month. Once approved, the first phase of construction will transform the site into two multi-family apartment buildings and 27 townhomes, offering a range of housing options from affordable to market rate.
The project has secured $29 million in funding from the state, which will support the development of infrastructure, new utilities, and roadways. The Albanese Organization plans to issue construction bids for these elements in November. However, no date has been set for the next council meeting to further discuss the project.
