Syracuse, N.Y. – A nearly $25 million expansion of The Tech Garden business accelerator will give a dreary stretch of downtown Syracuse a bright, modern look, planners say.

CenterState CEO, which operates the facility, plans to start construction on a two-story addition in the spring of 2023. Completion is expected in the fall of 2024.

The addition will add 46,000 square feet of flexible office and meeting space that will nearly triple the number of startup companies that can work there, according to the economic development organization.
