Charlottesville Demands Plan for Stalled Downtown Mall Project | Charlottesville News

Charlottesville is forcing action on a stalled Downtown Mall building that’s been abandoned since 2008—city officials are tired of watching it sit and demand a concrete plan within 60 days: finish, sell, or tear it down. Owner John Dewberry, who took over in 2012, faces new deadlines, site security requirements, and a fresh structural assessment. If he sells, the city won’t automatically buy—but they’re open to talks. No plan? The city’s ready to go legal, even seizing the property if deemed blighted.
