Council member wants stimulus cash for Hickory Hollow

Sam Coleman says the struggling mall needs the money for an improvement district focused on public safety.

Coleman likened the Hickory Hollow situation to last year’s approval by the Dean administration of a tax-increment financing deal to improve Bellevue Center Mall.

“… Due to the economy, business owners simply do not have money to pay for the additional assessment that would be required to implement the Central Business Improvement District,” his letter stated.
