Utica, NY | June 25-27, 2017
#NoHospitalDowntown and BUD (Better Utica Downtown) and others have called upon professional outsider “Urban Scientists” to visit Utica. Please join us our Facebook event page Battle For Our City!, and see detailed events listing below.
Our main guests will look at Downtown Utica – and the proposed hospital concept – they’ll walk the Historic Columbia Lafayette Neighborhood, talk with property and business owners, discuss things with residents, leaders and the media.
Does Downtown Utica settle for a costly inner-city hospital that would eat-up a huge part of downtown, or will Downtown Utica Take-Part In The Great Urban Revival? So many questions! Please mark your calendar, plan to be in Downtown Utica…
