âVillage Administrator Gregory Thompson detailed the proposal during [the Feb. 22] Village Board meeting. He noted that Market Square Mall owner Brooks Washburn expressed interest in exchanging a number of small parcels of land adjacent to the complex with village-owned property, which would improve traffic flow and grant the village riverfront property needed for its ongoing Riverwalk project without the need for an easement,â according to a story published Thursday by the Watertown Daily Times. âThe village would also take responsibility for a tract of land in the mallâs existing parking area, which would connect the existing Depot and Raymond streets from the north and south.
