Bangor Mall’s sudden condemnation has left businesses and nonprofits scrambling ahead of the holiday season, according to WABI TV.
The city condemned the mall Monday over serious safety violations, including unsafe electrical conditions, broken heating and a lack of working public restrooms. Interior access is blocked, though JCPenney and Dick’s Sporting Goods remain open through exterior entrances.
Some Theater Company, a mall tenant since 2020, had no warning before the closure. The nonprofit was preparing for its December production of *Les Misérables*.
Founding member Logan Bard said the company is working to secure a new venue, with Morgan Hill Event Center offering assistance. Ticket holders will be contacted once a location is finalized.
The Bangor Mall Craft Fair will proceed this weekend and next in the former Furniture Mattresses and More space.
