AREA GROUPS HELP REVITALIZE PARK AVENUE NEIGHBORHOOD THROUGH WALSH'S SNI PROGRAM

(Syracuse, New York)- Nearly 100 neighbors and volunteers from various community organizations came out last weekend to help administer Syracuse Neighborhood Initiative's (SNI) Park Avenue/Sacred Heart neighborhood revitalization program.  The $2.5 million Park Avenue strategy is the key component of SNI Phase VI.

SNI was created in 1999 in response to a challenge by Congressman Jim Walsh to revitalize city neighborhoods and has been funded primarily through federal money secured by Walsh. To date, Congressman Walsh has secured almost $48 million in federal funding for SNI.

Several private organizations have also contributed to SNI. In March of this year, Honeywell donated $200,000 that was used to help fund the latest work on Park Avenue.
