Harvey Girls memory of Syracuse Harvey House era
Former Harvey Girl Davis recalls the Syracuse Harvey House era when dining rooms, train arrivals, and strict rules defined work life. The depot site closed in 1936, briefly reopened during WWII, then torn down in the 1970s, leaving only a corner, a mirror, and a guest register.

Advocates warn a $426 million revenue gap could force cuts or downsizing of projects like K-61 and US 54 while truckers push back on tax increases. Rep Ballou favors maintaining maintenance and downsizing rather than total cuts.
