Groundbreaking Set for a new $6.8 million project on the Southside of Syracuse spearheads growth and development on South Salina St

Salina First LLC

Syracuse, NY – Local, state and federal officials, stakeholders, and community members will join the Salina 1st LLC investment and development partnership on Wednesday May 22nd from 1pm to 3pm, to celebrate the groundbreaking of Salina 1st LLC.

Salina 1st LLC is a $6.8 million mixed-use development project, located near the corner of South Salina St and Burt Street, that will include new mixed income residential units, commercial space – including light manufacturing, office and retail space.

The project is spearheaded through the intentional leadership of developers, Emanuel Henderson, Eli Smith and Gail Montplaisir. Eli and Gail met at Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Program at Babson College in Boston, MA. Both being in construction and related fields, they bonded. Eli opened an office in DC and Gail opened an office in Syracuse, NY. Later, while, Emanuel Henderson, Eli and Darin Price were in DC to meet with Senator Schumer about contracting opportunities and programs necessary to support small businesses, the team met with Gail and consolidated. Eli, Emmanuel and Gail decided to move forward together to create Salina 1st. The name is intentional; it is time for Salina, South Salina, to be specific, to be 1st on the agenda. And now it is.

“We see this as an opportunity to create a more economically vibrant and successful community for children and our future”, said the Salina 1st partners. “They said it couldn’t be done, but by working together, and with the overwhelming support of the community, government officials and Centerstate CEO, it is about to begin. A statement is being made today. The Southside of Syracuse is about to take off with investment from major projects, Salina 1st is just that, the 1st. Thank you to all of the supporters and to the community that have stood behind the project and supported its vision from the outset. It is time for us to intentionally develop within the community creating jobs and opportunities for prosperity. It takes a community!”
