I want to personally say thank you for coming to the Believe in Syracuse networking night we held this past Wednesday at Elbow Room in Hanover Square. It was inspiring to see 60+ people come out to make an enthusiastic statement that they believe in their community and it means a lot to me that you were one of them.
A few days after our event, in part because of the action you took in standing up for local small businesses Wednesday, Hanover Square made progress. The fence that constrained the space in front of Hanover Square businesses to an alleyway was pushed back. While the construction continues for another week, making the alleyway less claustrophobic is a really positive step.
Perhaps even better than this was the boost in sales you gave to Hanover Square businesses. You may have bought a few drinks on Wednesday, which helps a lot, but also the action we took generated a great deal of buzz and publicity for Hanover Square. You created a ripple effect that to this day and going forward will bring more and more people into businesses like Anthony's Pasta Bar, Elbow Room, Koolakian's Menswear and others.
We believe in Syracuse. Wednesday was all about making a statement that when anyone in Syracuse is in a bind, we're there to help and we're in this together. That's part of believing in Syracuse; being willing to get involved in our community and help make it better.
Our mission is to promote the positive things happening in Syracuse. Syracuse is making progress. It is a city on the rise. More people should take pride in our community. Believe in Syracuse is building more of a sense of community by bringing people together.
Thank you so much for joining us at Elbow Room in Hanover Square. Thank you so much for believing in Syracuse. Together we'll continue to make progress.
