Whomever wrote this sounds like a paid promoter. Hancock Airport may be international in name but absolutely not in function when you think about passenger flight service - look at the limited direct flight destinations of the airlines that service it. Syracuse University brings a youthful element, sure. But once those students graduate, they go elsewhere; they don't stay to contribute locally, and I say that as a 'Cuse masters grad. And don't get started on the failed Destiny USA project. A few techy companies won't change the core of the makeup of local residents. Syracuse is "behind the times" of many progressive cities and has been so for decades. It's still a rust belt city with low public school scores and a lot of people at or below the poverty line. If ever a city needs to be reinvented from the ground up, it's Syracuse.
