Wilmot Defends Eastview Mall Against Victor's Acquisition Proposal
What happened
Thomas C. Wilmot, president and CEO of Wilmorite Management Group, is challenging Victor's proposal to acquire five Eastview Mall parcels. Wilmot argues that preserving the mall's economic role is necessary to protect jobs and tax revenue. He also disputed the lenders' financial characterization of a 2012 refinancing payout, stating that ownership realized value rather than improperly extracting funds.
