Syracuse, N.Y. — Mayor Sharon Owens delivered her 2026 State of the City address Thursday at Nottingham High School on the city’s East Side. In accordance with the Charter of the City of Syracuse, I’m honored to stand before you tonight as Mayor of the great City of Syracuse to report and deliver the State of the City address. I would like to thank our partners Syracuse Housing Authority and the Allyn Foundation for making investments in Syracuse. The newly created Syracuse Housing Strategies Corporation is leveraging funds dollar for dollar to create opportunities for property owners completing curb appeal improvements. Like every city, Syracuse is also faced with caring for our homeless and housing vulnerable populations.
