    A proposed outlet mall for Simpsonville moved significantly closer to reality Tuesday when the Triple S Planning Commission recommended a zoning change request and the preliminary plan presented by Horizon Group Properties.

  • EARLIER: Different mall, same response: ‘Horrible idea’

    About 50 concerned citizens turned out Thursday for the community meeting about a second proposed outlet mall on the south side of Simpsonville.

    And although the turnout wasn’t quite a large as a similar meeting held by a different group earlier this summer, the sentiment was the same – these citizens don’t want the mall.

    They didn't like it even if the development comes with the name Simpsonville Outlet Mall.

  • EARLIER: Triple S Planning Commission: Outlet mall decision will come in August

    After the Triple S Planning Commission tabled its vote on the zone change request for the proposed outlet mall on the west side of Buck Creek Road in Simpsonville south of Interstate 64, Horizon Group officials were left undeterred.

    “There was a lot of information presented tonight and a lot of comments, so we respect the commission’s decision to take their time and evaluate it,” said Tom Rumptz, Horizon’s senior vice president in charge of the development. “But we’ll continue to move forward with the development process.”

  • EARLIER: Triple S delays outlet mall call

    Residents and developers will have to wait until August to see if the Triple S Planning Commission will recommend a zone change that will allow a planned outlet mall on the south side of Interstate 64 in Simpsonville.
    More than 100 people showed for the public hearing portion of the planning and zoning meeting, and although a few showed support for the Horizon Group’s planned 50-acre and 363,000 square-foot development, most were there to voice their concerns.

    Six people – including two speakers – who went to the Simpsonville City Commission’s meeting on Tuesday to get answers departed with little more information than they had when they arrived.
