Calumet City unveils $110 million plan for redevelopment of River Oaks mall for retail, restaurants and housing

After years of trying to acquire the struggling River Oaks shopping center for redevelopment, Calumet City announced architectural plans Thursday for a complex that incorporates retail, restaurants and housing, despite the city still not owning the property.
