After a lot of excited chatter around opening day, things aren't looking so great for East River Plaza: the megamall's Costco is laying off 160 of its 453 employees. And DNAinfo reports that some of those laid off are among the East Harlem residents the store agreed to hire in exchange for permission to make overnight truck deliveries. East River Plaza's Target is set to open this summer, which could, perhaps, help matters. [DNAinfo via Harlem Bespoke; previously]
