Smart Growth

White Horse Pike Strategic Plan

In 2003, the NJ Department of Community Affairs gave a Smart Future Grant to ten municipalities along the White Horse Pike (Route 30) from Barrington Borough to Clementon Borough to develop a strategic revitalization plan and strategy maps for the municipalities in the study area. The plan also will identify how the White Horse Pike towns can work together to address common issues and opportunities. The ten towns in the White Horse Pike study area are Barrington Borough, Clementon Borough, Hi-Nella Borough, Laurel Springs Borough, Lawnside Borough, Lindenwold Borough, Magnolia Borough, Somerdale Borough, Stratford Borough, and Tavistock Borough.

The plan will include a future vision statement; goals and objectives; population, housing and employment forecasts; targets and indicators; and inter-municipal and municipal recommendations for revitalization. This plan will be based upon and incorporate the following elements:

• Smart Growth Audit,
• Market Analysis & Feasibility Study;
• Vacant, Deteriorated and Underutilized Properties Inventory, and
• Trends Analysis.

The final plan will be presented to the planning boards and governing bodies of the participating municipalities for review and endorsement by resolution, and then to the Camden County Planning Board and Board of Chosen Freeholders for their endorsement.
