Adding housing to NorthPark Mall could be a way to reinvigorate the shopping complex in Davenport.

Davenport city leaders say they worry about its future as businesses abandon the mall concept.
A consulting firm hired by Davenport delivered a presentation to a city planning meeting, focusing on a long-term development strategy for the mall. Two of the five spaces for anchor stores are vacant after Sears and Younkers closed.

The consultants say the future of the property involves more than retail, creating new reasons to make it a destination.
