The LaFayette Town Board has passed a resolution in support of maintaining Interstate 81 as a highway in the City of Syracuse.
The resolution states that “Interstate 81 provides vital links with access to downtown Syracuse, all of our hospitals, Syracuse University, Destiny USA, Hancock Airport, present and future businesses and residents along (the) 81 corridor, (and) to business and residents within the Town of LaFayette.”
The resolution further states that “… any solution which would remove I-81’s vital function from its present alignment would irreparably harm the regional economy and corresponding employment dependent upon the highway network in addition to negatively impacting local neighborhoods and quality of life.”
