New Summit Mall News!

iphone 017

It's May, which means I naturally have news for you.

The Summit Mall project appears to be on track.

If you didn't know, I'm a writer for the Niagara Wire student newspaper at Niagara University.

One of the stories I pushed to write (which you can't read since it's only in the print issue) was a story about the Summit Mall.

I was able to reach out and get some information from Cynthia Potts (the manager for the mall I'm sure I've spoken about before). She gave me a bit of new info. 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 completion. Depending on the mall layout (which I've become quite familiar with) this might mean that the main mall concourse will be opened. Only time will tell on that one.

Confirmation Bias (Nice Title, eh?)

Hey y'all, So...October 1st has come and gone, and there's not Summit Park Mall (contrary to what my now WRONG countdown calendar says). To rub it in, the Buffalo News published an article with the hopeful title "Sports domes at Summit in Wheatfield to be erected next year" . The article basically just states what I already knew: nothing's gonna happen this year. ...Well, that's not  entirely  true: Cynthia Potts, who I've emailed before (because I'm nosy) says that they might get some work done for the winter. Maybe my Christmas shopping idea didn't fall on deaf ears! Well I have my fingers crossed, as usual. -Red Hooded Manatee

Chock Full o' Update

Hey folks, So, first off: Twitter! I have one! Follow it! https://twitter.com/radiokorei Next: Summit Mall news! Well, mall news in general. So it seems the Boulevard Mall is up for sale, which is crazy. Weirdly, WKBW focused their live air story (but not their written piece, ugh) on the Summit. So the unofficial construction date is Spring 2017, which is exactly a year behind schedule. I guess any date is better than no date, but geez. Also, Cocov made a new site for his projects! Take a look at Cocov Destinations . It mentions the Summit Sportsplex project, so it's still happening! Cheers! -Red Hooded Manatee
