Ithaca continues its effort to revitalize the downtown area with the Cayuga Green project, which will contribute to both commercial and residential growth.
Gary Ferguson, the executive director from Ithaca Downtown Partnership, described the “large downtown redevelopment project, the largest in downtown history at a cost of over $30 million. The project, he said, consists of four parts, the first of which is already in operation. The parking facility across from the Holiday Inn, near the Commons, was the initial site for this initiative.
“The first floor has commercial space with currently one tenant, but 23,000 square feet for commercial development,” Ferguson said.
