A message from the Ctiy's Department of Neighborhood and Business Developement

Dear Northside Neighbors,

The City of Syracuse Department of Neighborhood and Business Development will host a community information meeting regarding the Kimberly Property, formerly known as the Franciscan Academy and Maria Regina College campus, on Wednesday, March 16 at 5:30 p.m. The meeting will take place in the gymnasium at the Magnarelli Community Center at McChesney Park, located at 2308 Grant Boulevard.

Home Leasing, Inc., which has proposed to build affordable housing for senior citizens at the site, will participate in the meeting to provide information regarding its potential project. Mayor Walsh will also join the meeting to hear community input and discuss the future of the now vacant site at the corner of Court Street and Grant Boulevard. While the City does not own or control the property, we are interested in community input on what can happen there. Attendees are encouraged to submit questions in advance via email at: NBD@syrgov.net.

We want to answer questions and hear from as many in the neighborhood as possible.
