During a press conference Monday morning in front of the former Barnes and Noble location, Forest Acres and Richland County leaders shared their vision for transforming the Richland Mall property, envisioning it as the “true city center” of Forest Acres.
The redevelopment, kick-started by a $3 million state budget allocation, is set to begin demolition soon, with construction of the park expected to begin in ~18 months.
