What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The availability of a $1.9 million grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Education is influencing Penn Highlands Community College's decision regarding the possible relocation of its Blair Center, which is housed in the Logan Valley Mall. The college must weigh its long-term interests as its lease in the mall expires in December 2027. A local investor group, the Altoona-Blair County Development Corp., is interested in purchasing the mall, though this purchase is not guaranteed.
