Paramus NJ, “De-malling” is the process of taking traditional mall spaces and creating areas focused on entertainment, dining and socialization. This often includes softening the divide between indoor and outdoor areas. De-malling takes once single-use spaces and transforms them to meet the needs of more consumers. Research shows that almost half of U.S. shoppers choose the mall they shop at based on the food options that are available there. These shopping centers are no longer a place just to shop, but to socialize, share a meal and be inspired. The main goal of de-malling is to attract more people, increasing the profitability of the shopping centers and bringing more value to the community.

Paramus NJ, according to Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco , “as we look to the future of what education should be, it is critical to anticipate the needs not just in education, but in the workforce. Part of that is understanding that there are thousands of high paying jobs out there that are technical in nature but don’t require a college degree. Well, yesterday, the County’s Technical School District celebrated the groundbreaking of a milestone project to construct a new Career and Technical Education school in Paramus that supports that goal and will help ensure that Bergen County continues to remain competitive in the 21st century global economy. The new CTE school will support alternative paths and build a more inclusive education system, with something for every single student, all while helping ensure Bergen County remains competitive in the 21st century global economy.”
