Did You Know?
Like so many NJ communities, Camden and surrounding municipalities are grappling with the need to serve economic development while staying focused on housing, natural resources, recreation, and physical health and mental wellness issues for all residents. The Camden County Board of Chosen Freeholders requested that the Walter Rand Institute at Rutgers–Camden study the need for a working collaboration among the city of Camden and its first-generation, inner-ring suburbs to address regional revitalization issues. That five-year study, Toward a Metropolitan Complex: The Camden Hub Smart Growth Report, is the basis for the recently issued Camden Hub Plan. This regional plan is designed to be used by municipal, county, regional, and state government agencies, as well as the private and nonprofit sectors, as a multidimensional revitalization strategy to guide future resource investments throughout the hub. District 6 communities in the hub area include Audubon Park, Cherry Hill, Collingswood, Haddon, Haddonfield, and Oaklyn.
