In our most recent SEVERANCE site plan, we see the true directional orientation of the retail complex. Its 1998-2000 reinvention was successful for a time. However, by the 2010s, the complex was -once again- virtually vacant and on life support. Its Wal-Mart did an "anchors away" in late 2013, followed by the megaplex cinema, which closed in early 2015.

A parting view of SEVERANCE TOWN CENTER; this taken before the 2013 defection of Wal-Mart. In July 2017, a redevelopment was proposed that would rename the complex and possibly add an arts center, public green space and several entertainment venues.
