Downtown Syracuse: Arts Color Economic Growth

Will Maitland Director of the Arts & Business Council of New York will deliver the keynote address at Downtown Committees annual meeting this Tuesday, June 23rd at 8:30a.m. at the Museum of Science and Technology, 500 South Franklin Street, in Syracuse’s Armory Square district. The public is invited to attend.

The meeting is entitled “Downtown: Arts Color Economic Growth.” Jim Breuer, Chairman of the Downtown Committee, noted that the revitalization of downtown has been closely related to the expansion of arts, education and cultural attractions downtown. “The arts bring thousands of people downtown every year, and offer unique and compelling reasons why people come downtown. In Central New York, the greatest arts and cultural institutions are downtown.”

Also featured at the meeting will be representatives of arts, education and cultural institutions which will have a major impact on downtown in the coming year.

Tickets for the event cost $15 and are available by contacting the Downtown Committee at 422-8284 or through its Web site at www.downtownsyracuse.com.
