  1. I won’t bore you with the history, but the City of Camden, Walt Whitman’s “City Invincible” has undergone a transformation since its height as economic and cultural center of South Jersey…
  2. 2014 was a transformative year for Camden. The Economic Opportunity Act has spurred announcements of new development from the Philadelphia 76ers Subaru, and Holtec International…with more announcements on the way. And this week’s newspapers reported on the positive improvements in public safety in Camden. Since Camden has started using a county police force in May, 2013, there has been a 51 percent reduction in homicides, 22 percent drop in violent crime and 44 percent reduction in shootings. Camden’s revitalized downtown waterfront continues to attract close to 3 million visitors a year. And collectively, Camden’s educational and health care anchor institutions are investing in Camden’s downtown. And all this means that, once again, the City of Camden, with its institutions, nonprofit partners, and committed citizens, has an opportunity to transform and re-emerge as an economic center once again. With economic development as a primary objective for my administration, I acknowledged early on (starting with my transition reports in 2010) that Infrastructure and Sustainability would be center stage of that discussion. In 2013, the State of New Jersey passed the New Jersey Economic Opportunity Act Merged existing state economic development incentive programs into two programs Goal to enhance business attraction, retention, and job creation efforts and strengthen NJ’s competitive edge in global economy Establishes Camden as Garden State Growth Zone (only in SJ) In Camden, targeted industries like logistics, manufacturing, energy, defense, maritime, and technology receive increased benefits “Gamechanger” for South Jersey and Camden Consolidates existing incentive programs into two NJ GROW & EERG Camden is a Garden State Growth Zone 20 Year Tax Abatement Much ‘sweeter’ incentives to level playing field Lowers barrier to entry for South Jersey & Camden projects
  3. From neighborhoods to the downtown waterfront, flooding has major impact on existing residents, as well as the future development potential of the City.
  4. …take a different approach to this presentation by first telling you about our program, and then explain how our program came to be. The work that we do each day is quite sensible, actually…who doesn’t want to to protect human health, water quality, and the quality of life for people?? But the story of how it began and why it works is a bit more interesting.
  5. Events like those during Earth Week, as well as regularly updating the SMART website, sharing our story at conferences and in print, distributing educational brochures have increased awareness of the benefits of stromwater management and green infrastructure in the commuhnity.
  6. And together these projects infiltrate and capture over 4 million gallons of stormwater that would otherwise go into the overburdened combined sewer system.
