Caldwell Development seeks $600000 from UDC over Uncle Sam Mall
A Williamsville based Caldwell Development Corp files suit in the New York state supreme court to recover nearly $600,000 for past work on the Uncle Sam Mall project against the state Urban Development Corp and the city urban renewal agency. Caldwell previously sued in Buffalo. The mall plan stalled after the state agency faced financial trouble last year. In Albany, five W.T. Grant Co. stores in the capital area will close after Christmas. The chain, with 37 New York stores and 96 others in the northeast, is reducing its footprint as bankruptcy proceedings continue. About 5,000 employees will lose jobs. Albany outlets slated to close include East Greenbush, Hudson Falls, Johnstown, Kingston and Beacon.
