Alley Mall proposal aims to brighten Aiken with six small shops

The project would convert about 13,000 square feet into six retail spaces with canopies planters and a brick walkway. They seek varied general retail and possibly some services to create a relaxing, non urban renewal atmosphere akin to Charleston’s Rainbow Market.
