August 25 2023 WMDT ran an article about the sale of the mall, and all the big changes coming.

A rainy day stroll thru the mall revealed that nearing 2 years later, changes seem to be at least 20+ closed store fronts.
How do you resuscitate a mall when there is nothing of interest to draw the public in.
The poverty rate in Salisbury is 24.8%, National average is 12.4%.
Why doesn’t anyone, including the mall – (who doesn’t want you taking and publishing pictures of empty store fronts), want you to know the state of this community’s largest retail hub.
Do you realize what the long term impact on the community will be.
So you’ve settled with the very limited choices of walmart-sams, target, and kohls?
Where is the Chamber of Commerce, Greater Salisbury Committe, and your city-county government.
It’s been a tough couple of years, but a retail center can only maintain for so long, with 20+ empty storefronts and a community with a 25% poverty rate.
