Mayor Shaunna O'Connell has confirmed a plan for it to be demolished next month. The owner, Bill Thibeault, is undecided as to what will replace the mall, but O'Connell said he is considering light industrial buildings such as warehousing and distribution. O'Connell said she is encouraging the owner to choose something that will bring more jobs to Taunton, and that although there is not a set timeline for a new use for the property, she believes it will move forward quickly. "I do believe it will not be a drawn-out process," she said. "They want to get the property developed, and we want to help them accomplish that as quickly as possible."
