BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Hamburg Town Board is considering a moratorium on shopping centers.
It's meant to stop any plans to expand or approve new plazas from being built.
Supervisor James Shaw says he's seen too many vacant spaces and that he wants to fill out the current shopping centers before making new ones.
The ban would last six months, if approved, with the potential to expand another six months down the line.
The town will also consider things like tax incentives and grants to promote new business development.
A Town Board Meeting is scheduled for 8:00 at Hamburg Town Hall. Shaw says he's hoping this moratorium gets a unanimous vote of approval.
