Syracuse, NY – The second phase of what's supposed to become the Destiny USA Retail and Tourism Destination is moving forward.

Developer Robert Congel has unveiled plans for a 450 Million dollar, 1,300 room hotel and convention center that will run on "Green Technology".

Chris Ulanowski interviewed outgoing Onondaga County executive, Nicholas Pirro, about the promise this project holds.
