(KWCH) - Changes could be coming to Towne West Square mall following a zone change request to the Wichita Metropolitan Area Planning Commission. An application submitted to the planning commission last month lays out the intent to convert Towne West to industrial use from its commercial zoning. The listed contract purchaser on the application is the Wichita Maple Company, LLC. The big question: Why the zone change? The application says it is to “allow for redevelopment of existing property with a manufacturing emphasis and amend the existing conditional-use permit to reflect those uses.” Also mentioned on the application is the Baughman Company, serving as a representative for the Wichita Maple Company. 12 News reached out to Baughman but was told that at this time, the company is unable to speak further on behalf of its client. The past couple of years at Towne West have been marked by power outages due to late utility payments and the departures of several tenants, including businesses and nonprofits that held space in the mall.
