267:. That expansion would have included a two-story atrium with two escalators leading to the second floor. A food court would be on the right (currently Belk Home and Kids), and a dining terrace would be atop the expansion. The cinema would have expanded from an 11-screen to a 14-screen center. There would have also be 4–5 outparcels built in the parking lot, which were slated to be mostly restaurants. Interior work was to begin in 2010, which would have included the new children's play area. All work should have been completed by 2011 but continued to be pushed back. The mall received approval for city tax incentives targeting new tenants that may move into the mall. Signs went up all over the mall, telling everyone that big changes are on the way and also promoting the new name. The slogan used on the signs is, "You have to believe it to see it". Starting in late June, the mall started using its new name in the local newspapers and Funfest brochures. But the name change wasn't supposed to happen until after the building work was almost finished. If the expansion project had been completed it would have taken the mall from its current size of 530,000 square feet (49,000 m) to 634,000 square feet (58,900 m), which included the outparcels.
