After walking around
Rotterdam Square Mall in October, I got to musing about the mall's future. Yesterday's news was surprising.
The November 21, 2014 edition of the
Times Union contains an article about
Rotterdam Square Mall's delinquent utility bill. Friday at 9:00 am, the
Town of Rotterdam got a call from
National Grid asking to meet with a building inspector to
shut off the power at the mall. A few phone calls later, National Grid agreed to wait until Monday before turning off electric and gas service.

According to Town Supervisor, Harry Buffardi, the mall's dispute over the electric and gas bill will be resolved soon. Rotterdam Square Mall owner, Mike Kohan, stated that one of the mall's meters hadn't been read or billed for months, resulting in the large utility bill. He said that his company,
Kohan Retail Investment Group, was notified by National Grid of the delinquency one month ago. Kohan paid National Grid $100,000.00 on Friday. He declined to say whether he made payment in full.
Supervisor Buffardi doesn't expect any interruptions in power at Rotterdam Square Mall.
