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 Director of the Campbell Public Affairs Institute and a professor of political science at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. 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.
