JCPenney drops challenges to Boulevard Mall eminent domain process

After more than a year of stalled progress, the Boulevard Mall eminent domain process will now be able to move forward.

JCPenney, after twice attempting through legal action to block the city of Amherst’s eminent domain process at the mall site, has agreed to drop its challenges, according to a city spokesperson .

Penney Property Sub Holdings LLC, which owns the 2.3 acres of commercial space where JCPenney operates and associated parking spaces, began the appeal process late last year after its initial petition was denied.
