Ex-owners' bid to reclaim Grant building quashed by judge
U S District Court Judge Howard Munson dismissed a $12 million suit by 423 South Salina Street Inc. against Syracuse over the W T Grant building on 8 Salina Street. The ruling critiques city tax practices but allows redevelopment of the 400 block to proceed, noting the Tax Injunction Act limits. The court traced ownership from the University of Rochester to 423 South Salina Street Inc. and affirmed the city’s 1979 title transfer for unpaid 1976 taxes.
