Maybe Syracuse civic leaders should turn this potential negative situation into a positive for the city and encourage the owner to tear down this Project Orange steam plant.....Syracuse biggest eyesore!
Project Orange provided cheap steam as a byproduct of electricity generation, but now it's generating lawsuits

Quietly, many of the small power plants built during the late 1980s and early 1990s to supply Niagara Mohawk with electricity have faded away.
Few people noticed, for example, when Onondaga Cogeneration, a 91-megawatt power plant in Solvay, closed last April. The shutdown only attracted attention when a barge pulled up this month on the shore of Onondaga Lake to haul away the plant's massive turbine and generator.
Now Project Orange, an 80-megawatt plant just south of downtown Syracuse, is in trouble. But don't expect Project Orange to go quietly.
It would be nice, but what is the alternative for the University? Should they put it somewhere far away near South Campus? I'm sure there could be something done though.
