NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. — This week the State Supreme Court Appellate Division rules against Niagara Falls Redevelopment which wanted to block the City of Niagara Falls from using eminent domain to take up to a dozen acres of undeveloped land in the city's south end.
2 On Your Side talked with Mayor Robert Restaino, who sees this as a win for Niagara Falls as it moves to the next phase in the Centennial Park project.
" The next phase is for us to exchange certified appraisals to determine fair value and that's the piece under the eminent domain law to pay fair value."
The mayor says it's all about getting the project moving forward so the City of Niagara Falls can have year-round events in an indoor venue, this does not include the Seneca Nation-run casino.
