Syracuse in focus (SIF)

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).
