To Arlaina Harris, the best way to effect change in the East Adams Street neighborhood is by empowering its residents.
Harris, who grew up on Syracuse’s Southside, is the director of community partnerships at Blueprint 15, a Syracuse nonprofit aiming to revitalize East Adams. The area is a portion of the former 15th Ward, a predominantly Black neighborhood destroyed by the construction of the Interstate 81 highway in the mid-20th century.

As a child, Deanna Holland’s mother lived where the parking lot for Upstate University Hospital now sits. Her home was destroyed to make room for Interstate 81.
Like 1,300 other Syracuse residents, she was forced to leave her home so the state could construct the highway, which splits through Syracuse’s Southside neighborhood.
Now, nearly 55 years later, the state plans to remove and replace the deteriorating section of the raised highway. Holland, who lives less than a quarter of a mile from I-81, fears her community could face the same fate as her mother.
