The Allyn Family Foundation birthed Salt City Market in response to the community’s desire for a food hall and public market that would “show off [Syracuse’s] hidden culinary gems.” It turned a parking lot in a part of downtown plagued by underinvestment into a vibrant, thriving space. In addition to the food hall, the building includes office space and mixed-income apartments. In the planning stages, focus groups and community gatherings gave Syracuse residents a chance to feel connected to and invested in the project.
