UDAG program eyed for elimination amid Syracuse loss
The Reagan administration seeks to end the Urban Development Action Grant program cutting a key economic tool for distressed cities. Syracuse has used about $22 million since 1978 to spur 12 private projects and 2,630 jobs, with $1.4 million in loan repayments funding further redevelopment. Community Development Commissioner David Michel warns the move could halt projects and hurt low income residents.
