Can a developed Erie Canal Harbor help to improve our local economic conditions, bridge social divides, and better our own impression and the national reputation of our city; while embracing aesthetic design, providing a home for local entrepreneurs, providing quality employment, and without damaging the riverfront environment? To what other goals should such this project aspire? What can be learned from the waterfront projects of other cities that have come before? Join our panel in discussing the Erie Canal Harbor Development project. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
