In early 2017 , the Town of Fabius passed a resolution memorializing the need to maintain the existing alignment of Interstate 81 through Syracuse.
The resolution states: “For the last 50 years, Interstate 81 has served as a vital backbone for the economy of central New York, connecting commuters, businesses, tourists, visitors, and through travelers alike.” Among its important functions, Interstate 81 provides vital links with access to downtown Syracuse, all of our hospitals, Syracuse University, Destiny USA, present and future businesses and residents along the 81 corridor, to business and residents within the Town of Fabius.”
