COR gets 5-year extension as Inner Harbor agent

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — COR Inner Harbor Company LLC will continue to be the agent for developing Syracuse’s Inner Harbor.

The Onondaga County Industrial Development Agency (OCIDA) voted Monday morning to extend COR’s agent agreement that was first signed in 2015.

The original agreement expired at the end of 2017, according to Tony Rivizzigno, OCIDA’s attorney. The extension approved Monday runs until Dec. 1, 2021.

OCIDA Chairman Patrick Hogan says court cases involving leaders of COR, including a corruption trial earlier this year that resulted in the conviction of COR executive Steve Aiello and a second corruption trial expected to begin within a month, had no effect on the extension vote.

“No,” he says, “we vote on the project.”
