Good Neighbors Making Great Communities
By Betsy McBride, Mayor of Pennsauken Township
I wanted to share my excitement. Our township, Pennsauken, and our sister Borough, Merchantville, are becoming a destination.
Yes, I said a destination. We cannot and should not separate from each other.
We are a destination for business. Since 2012 Pennsauken has seen some of the highest business growth in Camden County; in that span, businesses have invested well over $100 million in our community through redevelopment and construction projects. This year alone, Pennsauken welcomed Bayada’s international headquarters, located on Haddonfield Rd.
