Architectural Dialogue
Monday, November 25th, 2013“There’s 30, 000 brilliant individuals who are creating green buildings, nontoxic classrooms and sustainable architecture. And they’re in Philly this week, taking in our city skyline, Federal Donuts & local fare.” Julie Hancher, GreenPhilly (blog)
Here’s a good dose of self-esteem for Central New York. Our region is actually ahead of the curve in terms of planning and implementing green infrastructure and sustainability. Linda Dickerson-Hartsock, Owen Kerney and Andrew Potts were in Philadelphia last week to present the Syracuse experience at the GreenBuild International Conference and Expo.
Matt Millea and Matt Marko from the Center of Excellence also presented at the conference.
The keynote speaker at Greenbuild was former New York Senator Hillary Clinton.

Forman Park, Looking south
The Central New York Police Retirees and Connective Corridor folk continue to show great stewardship of Forman Park. Here are some scenes from this morning’s beautification. We witnessed school-aged kids, retirees, SU executives, as well as current beat cops doing their share in the clean-up and planting process.

Encouraging Interconnectedness
Tuesday, August 6th, 2013“There’s a lot that’s been said and written about the decline of older Upstate communities…But like old houses, caring for them is clearly a labor of love.”
Linda Dickerson Hartsock (On Main Street)
This is part one of our conversation with the Connective Corridor’s Linda Dickerson Hartsock. Her work has blended revitalization with historic preservation.
Thanks to Bill Horrace and his band for the intro and credit tunes, which were recorded live on Centro’s Connective Corridor Bus (443).
