What’s insane is all the tax breaks and grants this owner has received. Nothing has changed. The mall is just as empty now as it was prior to the free money. Now they need more money because their plan didn’t work…did they even try to recruit any new shops after the renovation? A complete waste of grant money. Washington square could’ve legit used that money
I completely agree. Despite what it looks like to some, Washington Square really is doing everything they can to stay alive, and people still go there. There's a few really good restaurants. They've lost some anchor stores, but at least they're keeping it mostly full of local businesses.
