I’d also would like to see ethnic food weeks like you might see in other areas, like a Black Restaurant Week, an Asian Restaurant Week, a Hispanic Restaurant Week. All of those things are a possibility in the area.
One thing that baffles me, and this is for all of the upstate cities, is why there is no street, or neighborhood, where anyone can go to experience black, Hispanic, etc culture, food, arts and shopping.
Buffalo is trying to establish a black heritage corridor, Rochester has tried for 20 years to establish a Hispanic place on Clinton ave, and recently an Italian area around Lyell ave (a little late).
People would love to experience real authentic foods in my mind

Yeah, I think you have areas doing it on a very local level like the Thurston Village area of the 19th Ward with its Ease on Down Thurston/14619 festival and the La Avenida/North Clinton area in Rochester.
There is a Little Italy of sorts in Syracuse on North Salina and even North State Streets, but as time went on, restaurants closed up as demographics changed. With that said, there are still quite a few Italian businesses in that general area, though it really could be called the International District between the refugee/immigrant population(from parts of Africa and Asia) and other groups.
I agree that this is something the cities up here should capitalize on.
If the Syracuse area wants to speed up the approval process for new housing, why not mandate that in all Onondaga County townships, the town council meetings, planning board meetings and industrial development meetings must meet once a week instead of once a month?
That should speed the approval process up a little.

Many do meet weekly. So, I don't think that is the issue.
Keep in mind that they are built in TX and in turn, you may have to consider the weather in the area.
Also, that price is actually above the Syracuse metro median home price. That price is below the media price in the Dallas area by essentially $100,000 according to this: https://cdn.nar.realtor/sites/defaul...5MTcyNDMx(look at 2023 1st Quarter info to the far right). So, if a similar home in our area would be priced, it would be more like $125-130,000.
I know that you are using a lot of examples from TX, but it isn't necessarily more affordable than Upstate NY. With that said, communities with affordable(not necessarily low income) to market rate housing developments were to be built in the area, that would be great in order to meet the housing needs.
Similar to Contact in the Desert, Syracuse should host "Supernatural in Syracuse".
I get the impression that there is a strong interest in the Supernatural topics in the Syracuse area, so why not host a conference with speakers on this topic in Syracuse. It could be fun and help fill hotel rooms and help draw tourists to the area.

According to what?
Also, how does that bring economic growth, especially to those that need it the most?

More sales tax for the County through tourism means lower taxes and more services for the residents of Onondaga County.
