The Camden County Board of Commissioners is committed to creating a sustainable future for the county and its residents. The initiatives contained in our Sustainable Camden County Plan build on decades of work that has already been accomplished by our dedicated County staff and community partners. These initiatives were developed to take into account all the work that has been accomplished to date and sets the stage for what’s to come in the next five years. The plan assesses and puts into action initiatives that will move Camden County closer to a sustainable future. We look forward to having you travel with us on this journey to a Sustainable Camden County.
