Economic Development Activity in KOP Continues at Impressive Pace
I am continually amazed to see the amount of economic activity occurring in King of Prussia despite this challenging economy.
On the retail front, the additions of Wegmans (2012) and LL Bean (2011) and the redevelopment of the old Wanamaker's section of the King of Prussia Mall (opening 2012) has significantly added to the already stellar retail offerings in King of Prussia.
On the hospitality and tourism side, major hotel renovations and expansions continue to keep KOP in the forefront of the Philadelphia region. Projects include the new Hotel Sierra (2011), Springhill Suites (2012) and Valley Forge Sheraton (2012) and the construction of the new Valley Forge Casino Resort (spring 2012).
KOP-BID is excited to now have a new website to showcase these major development activities and retail enhancements. Please be sure to check out www.kopbid.com to learn more about the recent developments in King of Prussia and the many attractions, restaurants and hotels already in KOP!
