| A Plan to Conserve and Support a Camden Asset |
| The Central Waterfront District Redevelopment Plan recently approved by the Planning Board threatens the vitality and long-term prospects for one of the City’s most significant job-producing engines. The current “redevelopment” proposal suggests placing residential and mixed-use development next to the current industrial area, while rezoning the heart of that industrial/port area to permit further such development. This action can only have a negative impact and destroy the job-producing Port District over time. This plan uses the wrong approach and the wrong reasons to tackle the wrong “problem”. (more) |

| 14 Reasons Why This Proposal Will Cripple the City, the Port, and the People of Camden |
| The
Camden Redevelopment Agency and the City Planning Department
have proposed the designation of the Central Waterfront
District as a redevelopment area. |
| The
South Jersey Port Corporation's Beckett Street Terminal,
which is located immediately south of both the Tweeter
Center and the berth of the Battleship New Jersey, lies
entirely within the proposed Central Waterfront Redevelopment
Area. |
| The
Waterfront Alliance to Save the Port District, which includes
business owners, employees and other concerned citizens,
believes that this proposal will cripple the City, the
Port ,and the people Camden. (more) |

| A Vision for the Industrial Redevelopment of the Waterfront Port District—Complemented by New Residential Development on the Northern Waterfront |
| The members of the Waterfront Alliance to Save the Port District believe that the Central Waterfront District Redevelopment Plan recently approved by the Planning Board threatens not only the short-term vitality but—more important—the actual long-term survival of one of the City’s few truly robust economic engines—the Port District.

| The
Waterfront Alliance to Save the Port District comprises
businesses currently operating in the proposed redevelopment
area, employees of port-related businesses, concerned
citizens, residents, and others committed to maintaining
a viable, working waterfront that contributes to Camden's
economic revitalization. |
| Most
of the business in the Alliance would be forced to either
close or relocate if the plan now under consideration
is adopted and ratified by City Council. |
