HISTORY:
Syracuse's Oldest New Neighborhood
The creation of an entirely new urban neighborhood called Franklin Square is a remarkable accomplishment and indicative of the fertile development environment that exists in the Lakefront area. Once an industrial graveyard, Franklin Square has become a charming neighborhood of restored landmarks, brick sidewalks, ornamental lighting and tree-lined streets. With over $80 million in new investments, Franklin Square has become the location of choice for Central New York employers and residents.
