Marilyn Higgins, VP of Community Engagement and Economic Development for Syracuse University
Marilyn Higgins, along with Linda Dickerson Hartsock and Maarten Jacobs, spoke last week about how the University has used innovative design, neighborhood dialogue and unlikely coalitions (creative placemaking) to promote a climate of innovation in Syracuse. The event was held in the City Hall Commons Atrium. Higgins discussed how the new narratives of the Near Westside Initiative and Connective Corridor have ignited confidence in how the city views itself.
