State Rep. Alan Green, D-Florissant, will host a community discussion regarding the redevelopment of the Jamestown Mall property at 6:30 p.m. Monday, November 14 at West Side Missionary Baptist Church, 2677 Dunn Rd. in Florissant.
After 41 years of business and gradual deterioration, the 1.2 million-square-foot Jamestown Mall property closed in 2014, causing concern among area residents and a decrease in economic development. The closure of its major retailers – including Macy’s, Dillard’s and J.C. Penney – eventually lead to customer vacancy.
Ongoing discussions of redevelopment have occurred since 2008. Currently, constituents, researchers and developers are working towards putting these plans into action and restoring what was a major source of income for St. Louis County.
“For several years, there has been a lot of discussion regarding the revival of the Jamestown Mall property, its decline and how it has affected our community,” said Green. “This meeting will give us the opportunity to come together as a unit and voice our thoughts and opinions on the redevelopment of this once thriving property.”
