Contributing to a Growing Syracuse Community

While Central New York looks at a surge of growth and prosperity, Syracuse has been named one of the best places to live in the U.S. for the last three years and ranked as the #2 best city in New York State.

A Community on the Rise


Syracuse is experiencing an exciting period of energetic growth and development, with many new opportunities emerging for the community. The city has been investing heavily in its downtown areas, where Costello, Cooney & Fearon calls home in Armory Square. With new commercial and residential developments popping up all over the city’s neighborhoods, and major companies in the technology space, like Micron turning towards Syracuse for their future, new opportunities for a vibrant employment market have never been more exciting.

Looking ahead, Syracuse is poised for continued growth and success. The city’s strategic location at the crossroads of the state’s major North/South and East/West highways, and rail lines, combined with its growing workforce and quality of life, makes Syracuse an attractive destination for businesses and individuals alike.

Our Firm’s Presence in Downtown Syracuse


As a well-established and respected midsized law firm based in the downtown area, our team is delighted to see the investment and growth in the Syracuse area.

Our downtown Syracuse location offers our team opportunities to be part of a thriving community with several art and culture festivals throughout the year, and volunteer opportunities to help our community prosper into the future. As we continue to expand our footprint here in Armory Square, we look forward to offering our team members and client partners a higher level of service, communication, and innovative practices to continue to bring our community to the next level.
