The nearly century-old sycamore tree stands guard near southern entrance to the Syracuse Center of Excellence (CoE) property.
Construction continues on Washington Street near the CoE building (interrupting our normal Connective Corridor route). We took a recent tour of the facilities and were briefed on the numerous green projects and advanced energy systems. We also found out that Syracuse is taking sustainability + conservation to new heights, because although new foliage was added on Washington Street, they didn’t displace this mature sycamore (located near what will become the CoE parking lot).

“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, originally conceived as Forman Square nearly two centuries ago, was re-dedicated today in a ceremony featuring civic leaders and business leaders from the Midtown neighborhood. Above developer Norm Swanson talks about purchasing the Parkview Hotel, which faces the Park. The Parkview was re-developed a few years ago.
