Partnership for Onondaga Creek Celebration

In August, several Armory Square business owners sponsored a party for the Partnership for Onondaga Creek and their allies for the work they have done to prevent a sewage plant from being built in downtown Syracuse.
Lula Donald speaks about the accomplishments of the Partnership for Onondgaga Creek in the Southside.

No sewage plant in Armory Square

Good news: The county legislature decided to stop construction on the sewage plant downtown. They will be pursuing green infrastructure options instead. Read more about it in today's Post-Standard newspaper! LINK: http://tinyurl.com/5oeers
