MOORHEAD (KFGO) – Developer Jim Roers told the Moorhead City Council on Monday that, after some delays, demolition of portions of Moorhead Center Mall should be starting within the next three months.
The reason for the delay of the mall demolition is the company was waiting for a West Central Initiative grant application to be processed. The original plan was to take down the former Herberger’s building earlier this summer.
He said they were successful in being awarded $238,000 towards the project.
Roers expects the former Thai Orchid restaurant wing will also be demolished this fall in preparation for spring construction.
In May, Roers development company announced that tenants in the mall had to be out on or before Dec. 31.
The mall will eventually be replaced by a massive mixed-use development that will include a new library and city community center.
