The sign, which overlooks Interstate 95, marks a significant milestone in ongoing efforts to modernize the retail hub. It is a refreshed version of the shopping centerās original signage, which has stood since its opening 30 years ago.
Steven Crews, a spokesman for Central Park, confirmed that the updated sign is part of a broader initiative to enhance the shopping experience. āModernizing the āBig Redā sign to match the motif of the new I-95 sign, as well as updating directional signs throughout the complex, is all part of our vision for the future of Central Park,ā Crews said.
