Syracuse officials want to trade away city-owned building in unusual deal with housing authority

Syracuse, N.Y. — Mayor Ben Walsh’s administration is looking to trade a city-owned Eastwood apartment building to the Syracuse Housing Authority in exchange for an East Adams Neighborhood site targeted for a new children’s center and YMCA.
The unorthodox transaction proposal is generating skepticism from city lawmakers in large part because they don’t yet know current values of the two properties.
