A PRRAC Field Report (May 2018). Prepared for PRRAC by Anthony Armstrong & Make Communities.
Excerpt: “In fact, Syracuse’s experience feels both unique and all too common for U.S. cities, particularly Great Lakes cities: federally sanctioned housing disinvestment; sprawling outward development; stagnating or declining and segregated population; fractured local government and school systems; and outdated infrastructure. Officials at public and private institutes have raised the flag that these issues serve as a deterrent to investment from external businesses and also as a deterrent to attracting and retaining talent to serve in available positions.”
