Syracuse, NY – Central New York has a rich history of refugee resettlement. In the early 20th century, Eastern Europeans came to cities like Syracuse and Utica. Today, the patterns of immigration have shifted dramatically. In the first piece of a three-part series, WRVO's Skye Rohde reports on the region's new arrivals.
