On this week's episode of the Campbell Conversations, Grant Reeher speaks to two leaders in the effort to tear down and replace a section of I-81 that runs through Syracuse, and to redevelop the residential and commercial area and the neighborhoods surrounding its current footprint. Sharon Owens is the Deputy Mayor of Syracuse, and Raquan Pride-Green is the executive director of Blueprint 15, a non-profit which is working with the city on the redevelopment.

Grant Reeher is a Political Science Professor and Senior Research Associate at the Campbell Public Affairs Institute at Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship. He is also creator, host and program director of “The Campbell Conversations” on WRVO, a weekly regional public affairs program featuring extended in-depth interviews with regional and national writers, politicians, activists, public officials, and business professionals.
