The City of Syracuse Department of Parks, Recreation & Youth Programs will begin construction on the rehabilitation of the Hanover Square Fountain at the intersection of Warren, Water, and East Genesee Streets starting the week of Monday, June 16, 2025. This project marks a significant step in revitalizing one of downtown Syracuse's most historic and cherished public spaces.
Key improvements include:
"This project is a reinvestment in the cultural and architectural heart of downtown," said Commissioner Byrd, "By restoring the fountain and introducing new features like lighting, seating, and sounds, we're reinforcing Hanover Square as a destination and point of pride for Syracuse residents, businesses, and visitors."
Construction will continue through late fall 2025 and work hours will be weekdays from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with minimal disruption to surrounding businesses. West Genesee Street will remain accessible for emergency and pedestrian use throughout construction.
