Syracuse Today

Syracuse has it all. From the vibrant downtown scene in and around the SALT District to the serenity of New York’s beautiful countryside, everything’s here and close at hand. Easy access to the leading cities and arts communities of Northeast are a bonus.

With integrity, charm, wit, and grittiness that doesn’t spring up overnight, Syracuse is Upstate New York’s premier place that supports your creativity, your career, your individuality, and your life – all in one destination.

Our people are smart without attitude, savvy without pretense, knowing without cynicism. And we’re home to some of the country’s most prestigious universities – Cornell, Syracuse, Clarkson, and Colgate – and a host of state, liberal arts, and community colleges.

Syracuse is an emerging arts centered community anchored by historic and educational landmarks, like the Erie Canal and Syracuse University. Visionaries here have already started future development of the city’s untapped potential with projects like The Connective Corridor, a signature strip of cultural development connecting the University Hill with downtown Syracuse.

Today, the Syracuse area is building on its historical strengths, its people, its industries, and its local natural resources. Come have a look at Syracuse, where SALT is shaking on every corner.
