Council members unanimously approved plans to build 425 apartments on the abandoned mall property.

The Macy’s location has been vacant since 2017, when it closed.

Each time there is a new idea for the property, traffic figures must be recalculated.

As the city has grown, traffic in Oviedo has become an issue.
