GAUTIER, Miss. (AP) - The demolition of Singing River Mall is underway.
A champagne toast kicked off demolition of 390,000 square feet of leasing area on Wednesday.
Morrison Companies is the developer of the mall and owner Shane Morrison said the company will invest $40 million into a new $90 million project.
Melton Redding, Morrison Companies director of acquisitions and development, said he expects the demolition to be completed by the end of the year and Wal-Mart to begin construction immediately afterward.
The Gautier Town Commons will be on U.S. Highway 90 at the Singing River Mall site. It will comprise an open-air mall and festival grounds.
The Sun Herald reported (http://bit.ly/1dDpA24 ) the new area will house 380,000 square feet of retailers. It will create about 200 full- and part-time jobs.
Weve had a lot of success in smaller communities, Morrison said. We saw a need for retailers between Ocean Springs and Pascagoula and the community support was outstanding in wanting to redevelop the mall.
During the malls demolition, City Manager Samantha Abell said, the town green will be developed. She said it is in the design stages now and the tributaries in the area will be restored with grant funding in the next step of the project.
The City Council approved the development in March 2013 in hopes of bringing retailers, restaurants, office buildings and parking areas to Gautier.

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan said Wednesday that "strategic demolition" of some fire-damaged vacant homes will begin within 30 days.
The announcement Wednesday night came at the start of Duggan's first State of the City address. It's the first such speech since Detroit was allowed to enter bankruptcy.
Duggan said the demolition will be paid for using $20 million in an unused escrow fund earmarked for burned houses.
The address also came less than a week after state-appointed emergency manager Kevyn Orr filed his plan to pay creditors while providing money for city services and improvements in the coming years.
Duggan, a former medical center chief, was elected in November.
The mayor's power is restricted. Most of the power once exclusive to the mayor's office now resides with Orr, who has complete control over all city finances, how much is spent and what the money is spent on. A deal with Orr gives Duggan control over day-to-day functions of city government.
"The question I get now, almost everyday somebody asks me: 'Aren't you discouraged?'" Duggan told several hundred people in a packed City Hall auditorium. "'You're the mayor of a city that's in bankruptcy. You don't have control of your own destiny. And of course, you're not really the mayor. The emergency manager is in charge.'"
About $500 million of the $1.5 billion in Orr's plan would be used to knock down up to 450 decaying, abandoned properties each week. The U.S. government also announced in September that it would direct more than $100 million in grants to help Detroit tear down vacant buildings and spur job growth.

Detroit Mayor: 'Strategic Demolition' of Burned Homes Starts in 30 Days

DETROIT Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan said today that strategic demolition of some fire-damaged vacant homes will begin within 30 days.
The announcement came at the start of Duggans first State of the City address and the first such speech since Detroit was allowed to enter bankruptcy.
He said his administration and the City Council are both working to improve the city.
The change has started and the change in Detroit is real, he said.
Duggan said the demolition will be paid for using $20 million in an unused escrow fund earmarked for burned houses.
If you drive through most of the neighborhoods today, you wouldnt know there was a national recovery, Duggan said in his evening address. People in this community see parts of the country doing well and even parts of the city doing well and others are left behind.
Duggan, a former medical center chief, was elected in November. His power is restricted while Detroit remains under state oversight, but blight removal and demolition of what could be 70,000 or more vacant houses and other buildings are under his control.
Detroit is going through the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history, and Duggans address came less than a week after state-appointed emergency manager Kevyn Orr filed his plan to pay creditors while providing money for city services and improvements in the coming years.

GAUTIER, MS (WLOX) -
Wednesday sledgehammers were swinging inside the Singing River Mall marking the beginning of demolition for the shopping center. Crews put up fencing and an excavatorsitsat Singing River Mall for its demolition.
With golden sledgehammers and a champagne toast, city and county leaders and key stakeholders said goodbye to the mall and hello to the Gautier Town Center.
Once demolition of the 53 acre site is complete in about seven months, shoppers will see construction on the new $90 million, 380,000 square foot open air retail space.
"It absolutely will drive more traffic in here. We believe here in Jackson County, we'll take the opportunity to give everybody a great shopping venue," said Gautier Mayor Gordon Gollott.
The new commercial development isn't only going to bring more shopping options to Gautier, it's also going to bring jobs in construction and in retail.
Just the Super Wal-Mart alone is expected to bring in well over 1,000 jobs. City leaders say this new project will draw shoppers from all over.
"What the numbers show us is that we're going to be pulling from the east. We'll be pulling from Mobile. We'll be pulling from Alabama. That's critical to the state. That's critical to the county. And so we're excited to see that transformation take place," said City Manager Samantha Abell.
Shane Morrison and his partners are the developers of the Gautier Town Center. Morrison says what attracted him to Gautier was its citizens.
"It really started with the support of the community. The county, the city has just been incredible as far as wanting this project to happen and getting behind it with their full support. So that was the biggest key in letting us know that we think we could be really successful here," said Morrison.
