It's been more than 100 days since demolition crews began tearing down the old city-owned parking ramp next door to the Binghamton Boscov's department store.
The most challenging aspect of tearing down an old Binghamton parking facility will be the removal of a section that's above the north end of the Boscov's department store.
Binghamton Mayor Richard David is kicking off the official start of the demolition of the Boscov parking ramp while the store predicts a bright future.
Plans to re-tool what had been a big shopping destination in the Southern Tier since the mid-1970s is moving forward and Binghamton retailer extends lease.
After more than 15 months, city-owned orange barricades that have been lining the street next to the downtown Binghamton Boscov's store may be hauled away.
The chairman of the Boscov's department store chain is continuing to work with Binghamton officials to develop a plan to modernize the downtown space the company leases.
As Boscov's works to finalize a short-term lease renewal for its Binghamton store, the company is almost ready to resume operations at three other locations.
