The first step in revitalizing the area. Good luck and Go Bucs!!

I would like to see much more housing, a Dart bus hub and more parks/ cycling in the area. it could really become a vibrant, walkable neighborhood.

Very cool!

I cant wait to teach my daughter to skate here. And watch bucs games.

[@nubby2790]

This is such a game changer. Not only will the mall be revitalized but the surrounding areas on Merle Hay Road and Douglas Ave as well.

I loved the old bucks hockey building shakeys was right there across the streat

This is awesome! You should find the statue that was riding a tricycle that was in the middle of the mall and bring him back.

They did this in Mason City with the Mall too. Great idea.

[@EricGoranson]

Great idea!

I like the price chopper across the street more

[@daabomb114]

We can only hope this Mall is so dead! I am hoping this mall comes to life again

[@edlondon3717]

Did this happen yet?

[@jaretnorton4452]

Nope

$235 million in new taxes. $127 million total economic impact.

[@Dustin-me6mp]

This is going to be a big waste of money. That mall needs tore down.
