Elk Grove was buzzing Thursday with news over a project that has been collecting dust for several years now: the Elk Grove Promenade Mall.
The mall will now be built as an outlet-style mall, according to the website of developer The Howard Hughes Corporation and city staff.
Elk Grove Mayor Gary Davis said he was "intrigued" by the idea of an "upscale" outlet mall.
"Especially if it were to be sort of a hybrid - with a movie theater, restaurants, and other entertainment," Davis said in an email. "Given the recent increase in retail stores coming to Elk Grove, I think it would do well."
Some readers on this site were quick to criticize the decision to downsize the Promenade mall to an outlet format. See those comments here.
