Simon is pleased to announce that, through continued efforts to increase shopper safety in the face of severe weather, its Atlanta-area centers have been awarded the designations of being “StormReady®” and ”Weather-Ready Nation Ambassadors™” by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Weather Service.

One of the properties to receive the designation is our very own Town Center at Cobb. In addition to Town Center, Calhoun Premium Outlets, Lenox Square, Mall of Georgia, North Georgia Premium Outlets, Phipps Plaza and Sugarloaf Mills were also recognized for preparedness to handle all types of severe and potentially life-threatening weather situations through communications infrastructures, community outreach and hazardous weather training. Simon is the first REIT to achieve this status at all of its locations nationwide.

“We are grateful to the National Weather Service for providing us with this distinction,” said Carol Cox, director of marketing and business development at Lenox Square. “Our centers play a key role in the Atlanta community, and the safety and security of area residents and visitors is of utmost importance. Leading by example, our hope is that other organizations that serve as community gathering places will follow suit.”
