City to force Franklin Square firms to fix up or leave
City Hall plans to compel 24 Franklin Square businesses to improve or abandon their properties.

Franklin Square lies between Interstates 81 and 690 and Spencer Street, with the Syracuse Urban Renewal Agency under Mayor Thomas Young expected to launch a study into the plan.
