For Immediate Release: July 14, 2008

Bellmawr, NJ – The Black Horse Pike Regional Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy project, being managed by the Camden County Improvement Authority, is well underway and has reached an important milestone in the planning process. Seeking to learn more about business owner/operator and customers’ needs, concerns, and ideas for improvements to the Black Horse Pike region, the Steering Committee has initiated a Business Survey. Results of the survey will help connect the Black Horse Pike with needs of the adjoining neighborhoods in the eight municipalities participating in this initiative. These eight municipalities are: Audubon Borough, Audubon Park Borough, Bellmawr Borough, Brooklawn Borough, Haddon Heights Borough, Haddon Township, Mount Ephraim Borough, and Runnemede Borough.

The business survey helps to advance the overall purpose of this project which is to support local governments and businesses within the Black Horse Pike region so they can, cooperatively, take greater advantage of economic development opportunities within their communities.

During July, members of the Steering Committee and consultant team will interview business representatives to complete this survey. Customers may complete the survey online at http://blackhorsepike.blogspot.com. Help shape the future of the Black Horse Pike region by responding to this survey.

Local officials, business owners, or residents with questions regarding the survey, or interested in attending one of the Steering Committee meetings, may contact Andrew Levecchia at the Camden County Improvement Authority at andrewl@camdencounty.com.

The lead consultant is Philadelphia-based Brown & Keener. Assisting Brown & Keener are Urban Partners and the IBI Group, also of Philadelphia.

This project has been made possible by a Transportation and Community Development Initiative grant from the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission to the Camden County Improvement Authority.
