Kenwood Mall Black Friday

SYCAMORE TOWNSHIP – The countdown to Black Friday is on, and not for bargain-minded vacation buyers.

Officials in Sycamore Township tend to be prepping, too, for shopping's biggest time – its Kenwood Towne Centre is one of the Tri-State's hottest locations – and a number of current improvements, from broadened interstate exit ramps to an elevated police existence, can certainly make the location much easier than ever to navigate, they do say.

It really is a culmination of several jobs years in the creating and an investment north of $20 million. Objectives tend to be large although the new systems have however to manage their toughest test – a bulge of visitors come Nov. 27 and beyond.

"There isn't a rock we now haven't unturned to try to ensure we move traffic through this area throughout the holidays, " stated Tom Weidman, Sycamore Township trustee and a citizen associated with the community since 1985. "we are probably since far-out facing this thing as anybody, and I think you will discover traffic's moving better than previously. (Kenwood) isn't only a local shopping mall; this might be a regional draw."
