CLARENCE, N.Y. (WKBW) — A major redevelopment project is getting the green light to continue.
The Clarence Town Board approved the State Environmental Quality Review Assessment for the Eastern Hills Mall development.
The project would turn the mall into a mixed-use space with residential and commercial areas.
The review looked at the environmental, social and economic impacts of the project.
UNILAND Development Company is overseeing this project.
We spoke with the developers, who said there's still more to be done before Phase 1 can begin.
"Once we receive some pre-leasing commitments, we'll be able to start planning Phase 1," Carl Montante, VP of Marketing & Strategic Initiatives for UNILAND, said. "Then we'll go back to the town and show them what we've come up with, and then we'll have to receive approval for our Phase 1 as well. We're looking to make a splash and a real solid impact with this initial phase to get the project up and running."
Officials said the project will take shape in three phases over a 20-year period.
