Description:
This formerly active insulation plant now sits abandoned and nestled securely
in the woods on the eastern end of Berlin Borough. After asbestos production
ceased here in 1972, the factory operated for a few more years. The property
now has been closed for more than a decade. Most of the Owens Corning site
is wooded with development concentrated in the northern end, which is bordered
by NJ Transit's Atlantic City Line. Atco Station is within a quarter-mile
walk of the site, as is a branch of Virtua-West Jersey Hospital and the
Atco Multiplex Cinema. The area, which is near the intersection of Routes
30 and 73, is an optimal site for redevelopment. The potential for mixed-use
development opportunities are endless.
