[A] would-be retail anchor store at one of New Lenox's new malls has announced it will instead build a store in Joliet. But New Lenox Mayor Tim Baldermann isn't drawing any connections or worrying too much about the department store's change of plans.

"It's not tit for tat," he said of Von Maur's announcement last week that it will pull out of the Forest City shopping center at U.S. 6 and Interstate 355 and instead build a new upscale department store about five miles down Interstate 80 at the Bridge Street Town Centre in Joliet.

The Forest City project - dubbed The Birches - will have 1.5 million square feet of retail space with three high-end retail anchors, according to the mayor. It's expected to draw shoppers from eastern and northern Will County and the western collar counties, while Joliet's mall will serve western and southern Will County, he said.
