Groundbreaking Held for Innovative Green Homes in Syracuse's Near Westside
On Oct. 21, a groundbreaking took place for the three homes that won the "From the Ground Up: Innovative Green Homes" design competition, a collaboration of SyracuseCoE Platinum Partner Syracuse University's School of Architecture, Home HeadQuarters, and SyracuseCoE. The ceremony took place at 626 Otisco St. on Syracuse's Near Westside. Developed for vacant infill sites, these residences provide a new vision for one of the city's oldest neighborhoods and demonstrate the value of design within a typically underserved and demographically diverse community, incorporating the most advanced thinking about design, sustainability, and cost-effective building practices for the single-family house.

HUD Secretary Visits Near Westside
On Oct. 23, US Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan toured Syracuse's Near Westside and Northside along with US Sen. Charles Schumer and US Rep. Dan Maffei to see the efforts being made toward the sustainable revitalization of Syracuse's neighborhoods. While the Near Westside and Northside are characterized by vacant and abandoned properties, they are also targets for housing rehabilitation efforts and testbeds for innovative building technologies.
