And last but certainly not least was a piece written by Elizabeth Doran at the Post-Standard in Syracuse. Doran wrote about DesignConnect’s involvement with the redevelopment of the ShoppingTown Mall in DeWitt. Doran provided a report on the public meeting DesignConnect recently hosted to present last semester’s findings to the community. Based on this information session, the DesignConnect team will create mock-ups of potential designs the ShoppingTown Mall can use to redevelop the site. The comment section on this article is particularly lively which shows the sort of impact DesignConnect’s work can have on a community.
