Town officials are considering acquiring interests in five parcels of Eastview Mall, including the main mall, the theater, and vacant land, through eminent domain or a negotiated purchase. The Town Board voted unanimously on August 24 to schedule a public hearing to begin considering this acquisition under New York’s Eminent Domain Procedure Law. The acquisition would be managed by Victor 2040 LLC, a local entity formed for the project.
