Community Image: Creating a Better First Impression
OCL’s new study is exploring the economic and social benefits of community image and aesthetics and will focus on how we as individuals and as a community can redirect our energies and resources into making Syracuse and Onondaga County a place of pride. The Study Committee has begun meeting and subcommittees are being formed to conduct research in five areas: 1. Economic Development Impact; 2. Case Studies; 3. Public Input and Participation; 4. Public Policy; 5. Physical Environment. For more information, or to participate, go to http://onondagacitizensleague.org/ocl_studies/index.htm.
