Other: I have some concern with Macy's leaving the mall and being such a large store. With being next to another huge empty box store (Kmart) and also Campus Costume was in a larger building that closed. Do you know if the mall has plans to put a new tenant in? Bloomington East Side is for whatever reason sometimes said to be economically well, but that's not a guarantee to stay healthy. If the City can monitor these vacancies for both safety and economic reasons, that'd be much appreciated! Thank you!

Hi, Thank you for your inquiry about Macy's. While I don't have specific information about the Macy's space, I am confident that the Simon Group, which owns the mall, has the sophistication necessary to best reuse the space. Having said this, it is certainly sad to see Macy's closing and we are and will continue to keep our eyes on the east side and specifically the mall to make sure it remains vibrant. Thanks again, Alex
