The city was invited to a public ceremony this Wednesday to celebrate the construction of three ‘green homes’ in Syracuse’s Near West Side. The houses are winners of a sustainable development contest sponsored by Syracuse University’s School of Architecture, Home Headquarters Inc., and the Syracuse Center for Excellence. The initiative began through Syracuse Art, Life, and Technology District, otherwise known as SALT.
The houses will be built on Otisco St. and Marcellus St. They will cost $80,000 per year and are slated to be completed by spring of next year.
Ben Zender, a Syracuse resident working for the university will be the first to purchase a home from the project. Zender says he should be more conscientious in caring for the environment and believes owning an energy efficient home is his way to give back.
Both New York State and Syracuse University are helping to fund the project.
