BATON ROUGE - Dillard's, one of the final anchor tenants at the shuttered Cortana Mall, will be closing soon with the mall likely poised to become the home of a new Amazon distribution center.

A spokesperson confirmed the store will be closing by April 2021. The confirmation of the store's closing comes less than a week after a company closely tied to Amazon filed a build plan for the now-vacant mall. 

The company says it plans to help relocate associates affected by the closure to other Dillard's locations.
