Rebuffed developers of Cottonwood Mall site are deciding whether changes sought by critics would kill the project

For how long remains to be seen. But Holladay City officials don’t expect it to be too long, maybe a month or so, Mayor Rob Dahle said at a Thursday night meeting of the City Council.

The session had been moved to a larger meeting hall at St. Vincent de Paul church in the expectation that a sizable crowd might attend. Ivory Homes and Woodbury Corp. are proposing changes to an approved but stagnant plan to revitalize the 57-acre site of the venerable mall, most of which was torn down a decade ago.

While large, the crowd apparently was thinned by the Holladay Planning Commission’s 5-1 decision Tuesday to forward the proposal to the City Council with a negative recommendation.
