Upstate New York performing arts center revives once-toxic lakefront site

In September 2014, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed legislation that allowed for the construction of a new performing arts venue on Onondaga Lake, about five miles northwest of Syracuse.

One year later, on September 3, 2015, the Onondaga Lakeview Amphitheater, a gleaming, 74,000-sf outdoor event complex with a seating capacity of 17,500, held its first performance, featuring country singer Miranda Lambert. This summer, the facility will host 25 concerts.
