The Upper Valley Mall is set to close permanently on Wednesday after being an establishment for 50 years in the Springfield community.
The mall is located at 1475 Upper Valley Pike in Springfield.
The closure comes after the loss of anchor tenants like Sears over the last decade, along with changes in the retail economy. This has caused the Clark County Land Reutilization Corp., otherwise known as the Land Bank, to explore other opportunities for the property, Land Bank Executive Director Ethan Harris said.
