Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner announced today the members of a new task force to study a proposed sports arena in the city of Syracuse.

The mayor originally announced her intention to form the task force during her State of the City address on Jan. 23.

There are 24 members on the task force, including Syracuse University Chancellor Kent Syverud.

Miner said in a release that any project involving SU athletics is bound to generate interest in the community. She said given the magnitude of a potential new stadium, the process should be thorough.

“When we approach such a major possibility for development, we need to do so methodically to ensure the right choices are made for this once in a generation decision,” Miner said.

Other task force members include Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney, N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo, state Sen. John DeFrancisco and Gregory Eastwood, interim president at Upstate Medical University.
