Our local news had a story about Grants Pass building their first indoor mall.  While they are still under construction, it seems they have already leased 80% of the available space, with the anchor being Sears.

The story continued to mention that the owner of the Klamath Mall (previously called the "Shasta Plaza") said the mall is in escrow to a buyer in northern California.  Mr. Welch said he could not reveal the buyer at this time, but did say the new owner has renovated many malls in the past.  This sure could be good news to our local city if the mall was to find an anchor to replace empty J.C. Penney space.  We once again would have two malls available locally.

It appears our little city is waking up from a many year slumber along with the booming growth in southern Oregon!
