The mall will establish a community social service plaza wing for the surrounding Hickory Hill community. Approximately 25-30 units will be reserved for these services. It will be a one-stop shop of city, county, and social service agencies all under one roof.

We have found that many non-profit organizations are doing positive work in the community and have great resources. However, they may not always have access to the masses of people who need the services. The general community is not aware of some services that are available to them. By centralizing the services, the people can come to one place and find everything they need. A resident can pay his/her light, gas and water bill in one area, then purchase social security cards or food stamps on another side of the mall. Each community entity will assist the other entities in drawing a wide variety of patrons to the mall.

The following is a list of possible government, community, social services and businesses that can be housed in the mall: county clerk’s office, Memphis Light, Gas, and Water office, telephone bill services, bank, employment services, legal services, crisis intervention center, family counseling service, post office/UPS/ PakMail service, FedEx, social security office, senior citizen center, computer support center, crime prevention center, tuition assistance center, mortgage assistance center, Department of Human Services, Department of Children’s Services, medical clinic, pharmacy, X-ray/radiology office, eyewear clinic, adult education, pharmacy, wellness center, fitness center, mental health center, aging and disability services, Alzheimer’s Day Care Center, children’s services, adoption services, child safety protection services, financial services, parenting and grandparenting services, and family cancer center. NOTE: This list is subject to change based on availability of the community social services mentioned. It is only intended to give you an idea of the services we will pursue for the mall.
