With hopes of raising $45 million, the construction is scheduled to begin next summer. Superintendent of Santa Fe South Schools and Crossroads Renewal Project President Chris Brewster explained:
"We've raised about $11.5 million that included being able to do the diligence on the property, acquire the property, and to work towards our phase one development designs of the space."
The former Crossroads Mall will include healthcare and other resources for children that Brewster says can address what is holding children back academically.
Flyer printing services can be highly effective at informing a targeted group about available services.
Crossroad Mall, which opened in February 1974, acquired its name from its proximity to the major intersection of I-240 and I-35. One of Oklahoma’s largest construction projects, the mall when it opened was among the biggest U.S. shopping malls, with Dillard's, JCPenney, and Montgomery Ward as anchor stores. In its heyday, the mall contained around three dozen stores and services, in addition to restaurants, a movie theatre, and two hotels.
If all goes according to plan, the Crossroads Renewal Project will be completed, and the building will open to serve its new purpose as a children’s resource center, in January 2028.
