Report: Outlet Mall Being Floated Along Staten Island Waterfront

-

City bargain hunters could be just a ferry ride away from a new outlet mall if plans to redevelop the Staten Island waterfront go through.

It's the same area being considered for what would be the world's tallest observation wheel.

Under the plan, parking lots on either side of Richmond County Bank Ballpark would be replaced with the mall and the wheel.

The proposals are part of the city's effort to bring more shopping and tourist dollars to Staten Island.

But retail experts tell the Journal developers could find it hard to attract popular stores for the mall.

Other parents and kids are coming forward, saying the school isn't doing enough to stop student racial slurs. Student Gillian Brockman said she was called “nig...
