Niagara Falls will be home to a new outdoor shopping mall.
Plans are underway to demolish the inside of Niagara Square, keep the exterior and build it into an open-concept mall.
Designers are looking at the Niagara-on-the-Lake outlet centre for inspiration.
Mayor of Niagara Falls Jim Diodati tells CKTB, he hopes with the growing population around the mall that it will attract new retailers.
Diodati says stores on the perimeter will remain open during construction and the new design will be constructed with them in mind.
No new stores in the redevelopment have been confirmed.
He ruled out rumours that Ikea will be coming into Niagara Square.
