There appears to be new life coming to an old shopping mall in Fort Erie.
The old County Fair Mall has been purchased by the Niagara Region.
A conditonal sold sign has been posted at the property.
Regional Chair Alan Caslin says there are big plans for the property but won't unveil those details until a news conference set for Thursday.
A gas station was previously located on the site and Caslin says the Region has done all the proper environmental assessments to check for possible soil contamination.
It's rumoured the site will be used for residential or long term care housing.
