A thousand new jobs could soon come to the troubled Valle Vista Mall in Harlingen.
Last Friday during his state of the city address, Harlingen Mayor Chris Boswell announced a new multinational tech company will be making the mall its newest home.
“In December 2020, TaskUs announced Harlingen as its third Texas location,” Boswell said.
The company has hired 500 people so far, and the mayor says they are expected to hire 1,000 more.
One of the mall s owners, Felix Reznick, told Channel 5 News the new company will cover 10,000 sq. ft. of former retail space.

The new owner of Burnsville Center plans to sell some stand-alone buildings and perhaps land surrounding the mall as it moves forward with plans to save the struggling mall.
New York-based Kohan Retail Investment Group bought the distressed property at a foreclosure auction in the fall for about $17 million.
Earlier this month, it started to work with the city of Burnsville and anchor spaces, which are owned separately, to figure out how best to use the property.
The Burnsville City Council hosted a work session on Feb. 9, and invited the Burnsville Center s stakeholders to meet virtually and talk about the potential revitalization of the aging shopping mall.
