The largest proposed project in Ithaca recently received it's site approval after 5 years. The Ithaca Times did an info story on the local developer behind this project as well as the new tallest downtown seen in post #561 above. As noted many times in this thread, a developer has to be persistent and willing to take on the insane approval process of the city. In the case of the Chain District, not only the city but the Town of Ithaca re involved which adds another layer to the process. Here's the Ithaca Times profile of the developer:

Here's a link to the project's info (which could probably use an update)

I hope this project gets done before I am done.
