The Near Westside Initiative is a US Green Building Council LEED-Neighborhood Development Pilot Project, which means the neighborhood and its re-development feature: Walkable streets, compact development, mixed-use buildings. A centralized school (Blodgett Elementary), a centralized park (Skiddy Park), public art, and neighborhood shops and businesses. Green buildings and brownfield redevelopment. Public transportation, smart location, and community policing. The SALT District is a project of the Near West Side Initiative, Inc. aimed at creating a new epicenter of artistic and cultural development in the Syracuse and Central Upstate New York area. yracuse and the SALT District are in the heart of New Yorks Creative Core, dubbed that because of its long history of innovation and creativity. This region has been the cradle of social and artistic movements (such as the Womens Movement and Arts & Crafts Movement) and the home to hundreds of well-known artists, writers, musicians, and innovators, including legends: Gustav Stickley, Adelaine Alsop Robineau, L. Frank Baum, Raymond Carver, Joyce Carol Oates, Camille Anna Paglia, Tony Trischka, Libba Cotton, Jimmy Van Heusen, Lou Reed, Maya Deren and Rod Serling. Be the Next Great Artist and Innovator. The SALT Districts cultural diversity, warehouses, homes and incentive programs provide the perfect creative space needed for doing that. In addition, forward thinkers in the area are developing urban cultural spaces like Lipe Art Park and SUs Connective Corridor to strengthen ties throughout the city. The SALT District consists primarily of the warehouses and commercial buildings on West Street and parts of West Fayette Street, on the edges of the Near Westside neighborhood. New warehouse spaces are being developed along West Street, as part of the Near Westside Initiative. Houses and smaller, multi-use properties in the heart of the neighborhood are also being targeted for ownership and development by artists. All of these houses and new warehouse spaces have incentive programs available to lower the cost of ownership, increase community support and allow artists to participate in the value they are creating in the neighborhood. Privately-owned warehouses with loft spaces and studios are currently available along West Fayette Street. Here more than 60 artists are already creating, living and making their mark. Learn about some of them. The neighborhood also has additional assets and resources with The Delavan Center and Gallery, The Redhouse, Syracuse Universitys Warehouse (with its School of Visual and Performing Arts and School of Architecture), Clayscapes Pottery and several other businesses who are a part of this growing art community. Location, location, location The SALT District is part of the Near Westside of Syracuse, within walking distance of downtown Syracuse and its vibrant and creative Armory Square District and down the hill from Syracuse University. On its west and south sides are Syracuses residential neighborhoods: Tipperary Hill with its strong Irish heritage, shops and pubs; the Strathmore area with its large park, lake and artistic heritage (including Robineau Road, named after famous ceramicist Adelaine Alsop Robineau); and the Southwest neighborhood with African-American community, culture and shops.
