SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon on Tuesday announced that the county is seeking proposals for the purchase and development of the ShoppingTown Mall site in the town of DeWitt.
The successful proposal is required to demonstrate how the development will “enhance” the quality of life for residents in DeWitt, Onondaga County, and Central New York. The property offers nearly 62 acres of developable land, Onondaga County said.
“This is an important milestone in the efforts of my administration to turn ShoppingTown into the successful and productive site our community deserves,” Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon said. “As we write the next chapter for this site, the community can feel confidant knowing that Onondaga County will do everything it can to make sure this property becomes something we all can be proud of again.”
