Mall at Steamtown
The Mall at Steamtown is a joint venture between an af?liate of the Shopco Group LP and Boscov's Realty Group, an af?liate of Boscov's. These two entities combined their collective talents and resources to form Steamtown Mall Partners, L.P.
Today, The Mall at Steamtown is a vital economic force in Lackawanna County, home to a myriad of retail stores that employ and serve thousands of our neighbors and friends. But it hasn't always been that way.
Back in 1981, Boscov's indicated that they might open a store in Scranton. A number of buildings and properties were offered up as development options, but none proved to be a really good ?t.
In May 1986, Steamtown USA made the ?rst major commitment to the project by generously donating 10 acres of property. With a location in hand, the search for funding began in earnest.
Occasional setbacks were all but forgotten when, in the Fall of 1986, U.S. Representative Joseph McDade proposed funding for the creation of Steamtown National Historic Site. Eventually, President Ronald Reagan signed the proposal into law.
