Description:
The shopping center on this 30-acre site was constructed one-quarter mile back from Route 30. With every square inch of frontage paved for a parking lot with no stormwater management, untreated runoff sped directly into the nearly pristine Trout Run and the Rowan Pond Wildlife Management Area for more than four decades. Poor site design, newer competing shopping centers and national chain bankruptcies led to the property's failure and abandonment for more than ten years. Clementon Borough and the CCIA's Brownfield and Redevelopment Center marketed redevelopment of the site and found K. Hovnanian & Sons to build a 140-unit active adult community on 25 acres fronting on Rowan Pond. The CCIA will soon issue RFPs for redevelopment of the remaining five acres.
