Turmelle on the mall & condo one-year extension
The NHRs Luther Turmelle reported on the one-year mall delay.
W/S Development had originally been faced with a July deadline to bring its proposal for the Shoppes at Cheshire before the Planning and Zoning Commission for the third and final round of approvals needed for the project. But the company requested a one-year extension of that deadline, which the PZC granted late last month...

there probably isn't a mall under construction anywhere in America right now.
This is gonna be the '00's version of the 1980's Erricchetti proposal
Let 'em build it & then board it up...
L&B can use the business
This mall was a bad idea from the get-go. Any reasonable person could see that there was far too much retail space being built in Connecticut versus the population and job growth in this area. The retail boom in the country was fueled by easy credit and stupid P&Z decisions in towns that thought they were going to get all kinds of tax revenue. You didn't have to have an MBA to see that this was a house of cards.
Unfortunately the Developer's Party in town fast tracked this thing and convinced people that it was a great idea.....just like Serenity Ranch boondoggle. Hopefully people will wake up and see that the old boy's club in Cheshire is not working for the town's best long term interests.
I guess the owners Paul Bowman, Doug Calgani and Frank DiNatali can just keep waiting.
I would hope that this land has been re-appraised at it's true value.
