Radisson Community Project

Radisson Monument with American Flag on display

Radisson is one of many planned unit development communities being developed in the United States. When complete, Radisson will provide nearly 3,500 homes for up to 11,000 people as well as a large Corporate Park and a wide range of recreational, educational, cultural, shopping and community services. Presently, Radisson is about 80% complete.

Covering an area of more than 4.5 square miles, Radisson is located 12 miles northwest of Syracuse and 1 mile east of Baldwinsville, New York. It is bounded on the east by the Seneca River, on the north and west by the New York State Wildlife Management Area, and on the south by New York State Route 31. Major highways provide easy access to all services and metropolitan areas. Hancock Airport serves as the major commercial air center.

The site was purchased in 1969 by the New York State Urban Development Corporation (UDC) d/b/a Empire State Development  (ESD), which is Radisson's Developer. Formerly farmland, the United States Department of War acquired the property for use as a World War II Ordnance Works. Originally named Lysander New Community, its present name is derived from a mid-17th Century French explorer of the Syracuse area - Pierre Esprit Radisson. He was also a co-founder of the Hudson Bay Company.
