It's been more than two months since Burlington gave crews the green light to start construction on the city's new mall.

But there has been little activity at the site since the summer and Burlington city leaders want to see work start up again. The $230 million project was delayed when developer Don Sinnex didn't meet project requirements to get a proper permit. In August, Burlington's City Council allowed work to start on the foundation without the permit.

"I have some level of concern about where we're at. The city is in no way panicked. At the same time, we believe already what's been on the site has made our downtown stronger it's moved us closer to being where we ultimately need to be. That failing mall had, didn't have a future in the future of Burlington," said Mayor Miro Weinberger, D-Burlington.

Sinex says his development company is currently negotiating contracts with lead tenants. Once partners approve the terms and financing the project will move forward.
