Project Overview
The Southwest Economic Development Initiative, of the Jubilee
Homes of Syracuse, Inc. - Southwest Economic Business Resource Center,
promotes economic empowerment along the corridors of W. Onondaga and
South Avenue. It is design to develop small, medium and micro
enterprises; emphasizing the links between the neighborhood’s residents
and business economic needs. This initiative provides assistance in
the planning, coordination, and implementation of strategies focused on
improving and revitalization the “quality of the neighborhood” through
façade improvement, neighborhood infrastructure improvements, and small
business training and development.
The
geographic area, W. Onondaga and South Avenue corridors, faces
catastrophic economic conditions and is in need of revitalization. The
eastern end of W. Onondaga Avenue neighborhood is in need of business
development and the western end suffers from lack of investment in its
historical district. The South Avenue corridor has a blended mixture of
housing and small businesses on its northern end; while the south end
has greater commercial development. Jubilee Homes of Syracuse, Inc.
will drive this initiative to close the gap between the economic
disparities within the community, ensuring that the quality of life is
equal. The map depicts the geographic location of our target area.
