I'm fallible to say the least. Channel 4 (WIVB) did a piece on the Summit Mall back in March.

Since this info is stuck in print for the time being, I might as well drop the quote here: We have to move the underground primary electrical line.  Therefore, we had to make some changes and are finalizing all DWGS for a single dome this year.  We will also be pushing to complete the brewery and sports bar late this year or early into 2018. So, the plan is clearly to open at least one dome this year. To my personal excitement, the Brewery and sports bar is being pushed for com...
