CORRECTION: An item in Wednesday’s Daily Business Report erroneously stated that the Del Mar Highlands Town Center in Carmel Valley would close on Jan. 3 for a major renovation. Actually, only the UltaStar 8 theater will be closed on that date. The center will remain open. The movie theater will reopen in conjunction with the grand reopening of the Del Mar Highlands in the summer of 2011.
