=86. Syracuse City Hall Location=

Syracuse City Hall, constructed from 1889 to 1892, has served as the official city hall of Syracuse, New York ever since. It is located in 233 E. Washington St., Syracuse, New York. It now holds the City Clerk where it processes all requests and publications of the proceedings of the Common Council. It also controls all City ordinances, resolutions and laws enacted by the Council and it is responsible for issuing marriage licenses.




 * History**

In the early 1800’s a Market Hall was built in the junction of Oswego and Erie Canal. Soon after that, in 1848 Syracuse was officially incorporated as a city and in 1852 the Market Hall was named the City Hall of Syracuse. According to John N Alsever in his book //When Syracuse was a village: snap shots of early days, taken from village records in city clerk’s office,// in December 14, 1847 “An Act to incorporate the City of Syracuse” was passed by the legislation and the election to incorporate City of Syracuse was 1457 to 810 in favor. Lawyer Harvey Baldwin was part of the committee that drafter the charter in the Market Hall that established Syracuse as a city making him the first Mayor of Syracuse. One of his main proposals was to create a new City Hall. However, mayors in those years had only a one-year term and therefore he was not able to pursue his proposal. In 1889, Mayor Will B. Kirk took the project back and a new City Hall was built that is still in use up to date.

History
In 1927 Syracuse mayor Charles Hanna felt that the city needed an airport for its economic development. He selected Old Hinsdale Field, located in Amboy Center, and the City of Syracuse purchased the site for $50,000 in 1926. When the World War two began, flying instructors at the Amboy City Airport were forced into military duty and the airport became a flight training center. On July 22, 1946, the City of Syracuse took over the Mattydale Bomber Base and eventually dedicated it as a commercial airfield in 1948. On September 17, 1949, the Clarence E. Hancock Airport opened to the public using a renovated Army Air Corps machine shop as a terminal, and replaced the old airport at Amboy. The airport at that time was equipped with four concrete runways. American, Buffalo, Colonial and Robinson Airlines were the first airlines to operate at the airport, and American Airlines still does to this day.

A [|United Airlines] [|Boeing 737] at Hancock International Airport in 1993 The Hancock airport was granted international status by the International Civil Airport Organization in 1970 which also warranted a new name, The Syracuse Hancock International Airport.

Since 2004, the airport experienced a period of growth thanks to the efforts of local business contributions toward the campaign. C&S is providing professional design and construction inspection/observation services for the construction of the Syracuse Hancock International Airport terminal security and access improvement project, which is a 147,000-square-foot renovation design project with an estimated cost of $63 million. The most critical components of the project include: post check-in TSA baggage handling, improved passenger screening, and sustainability.

There are various upgrades and projects that are still on an ongoing progress. Some of them are: North and South Concourse Sustainability Upgrades, Parking Garage Structural Repair and Terminal Security Upgrade.

The last addition to the airport in food concession was Johnny Rockets. It was open on April 21. This restaurant is located at the North Terminal after security check-in. Johnny Rockets- Burger Restaurant- at the Syracuse Syracuse Hancock International Airport
