The Big Dig & I-81: Lessons for Syracuse

WRVO welcomes WGBH-Boston’s Ian Coss, host of the Peabody Award-winning podcast "The Big Dig," for a panel discussion about Syracuse’s own attempts to solve the infrastructure puzzle and undo the harms of the past.

Coss will be joined on stage by local advocates and policymakers to discuss the historic effort to remove I-81 and the ongoing questions around the project’s future. The conversation will be recorded for a new season of the show.
