Genesee Valley Center to Reopen Today

UPDATE: After being closed on Thursday for a water main break, the Genesee Valley Center will reopen today, Friday, December 3rd. The privately owned portion of the water main was repaired last night by a private contractor.

No holiday shopping could be done Thursday at Genesee Valley Center.

For those shoppers looking to pick up items at the Genesee Valley Mall today, you'll have to find another time to make that happen. Earlier today, Genesee Valley posted on their Facebook page that they were closed today because of a water main break.

However, according to other sources, the reason is a little more complicated. The water was shut off to the Genesee Valley Center by the Genesee County Drain Commissioner's office. The water main break in the mall caused fluctuations of the water pressure of the homes and businesses on Miller Road between 75 and Linden Road.
