CHAMBLEE - An eight million-dollar Latino shopping center is expected to open at the end of the year in Chamblee in metro Atlanta. <br>
<br>
The shopping center will be called Plaza del Sol. <br>
<br>
Jeff Humphreys is director of the Selig Center for Economic Growth at the University of Georgia's Terry College of Business. He says the new shopping center will be a ``reflection of the increasing level of wealth and income'' in the Hispanic community. <br>
<br>
The Plaza del Sol project marks the second-largest business deal involving a partnership of Latinos in the metro area. <br>
<br>
The first was the founding of the United Americas Bank in 1999. <br>
<br>
Plaza del Sol will include a sun inlaid in a central open-air plaze, a stage, fountains and suites with individual entrances. It's being built on a site that held an ironworks factory.
