On February 12, 2015, local power company, National Grid, disconnected electric service due to a rumored $300,000.00 unpaid utility bill. The service was later turned back on the next day. In June 2015, the mall was sold to Via Properties for $9.25 million. They plan to invest $10 million into mall improvements, including exterior upgrades, a aquarium, and a nearly entertainment center with a bowling alley, sports bar, restaurant, and arcade.
