Syracuse, NY – From 1990 to 2000, New York's population grew by five percent.

But in the four county Central New York region, population declined by just under nine percent.

WRVO's Elizabeth Christensen spoke to two families that have left Central New York about why they moved away... and why they long to return.

WRVO is at a critical moment.
