The SouthWorks project is the planned adaptive reuse of 820,000SF of existing factory space (formerly the Morse Chain/Emerson Power Transmission factory) on a 95-acre site which straddles the City and Town of Ithaca. This mixed-use project will include both commercial and residential spaces, renovations & new construction to create a mixed-use neighborhood integrated into Ithaca's South Hill. 

 

On Friday September 12th from 9-11am, the LLH community is invited to join Rob Lewis, Project Development Manager, and Sarah Barden, Community Outreach & Leasing Coordinator, for an overview of the project and a walking tour of the main complex of existing factory buildings, with ample opportunity for discussion & questions. This tour typically involves several flights of stairs and 1-2 miles of walking. If any attendees have mobility limitations, please contact Sarah in advance at [email protected] so we can adapt the route. All attendees must wear closed-toed shoes and sign a waiver.
