A Brooklyn-based firm has been identified by city and state officials as the top choice to lead the design of a regional tourism center in downtown Auburn.
The highest rated of seven applicants that submitted design proposals for the Central New York Regional Welcoming Center was nArchitects. The Auburn site is one of several announced as part of a statewide $55 million tourism initiative, with a facility planned to represent each state region.
The city of Auburn and the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation are cooperating on the project’s development.
