To express yourself or protest this space and transportation asset wasting Charter Violating project in the heart of the U.S.A.'s most impoverished city and New Urbanism's greatest challenge, use the contacts below. The most important objective at this point is for the project to receive an official Office of Smart Growth review. The NJ dept. of Community Affairs won a Charter Award from The Congress of New Urbanism for it's Smart Growth Plan. This end run around the Smart Growth review makes a mockery of that Charter Award. James Howard Kunstler as recently as July 25th called the Campbell's project "one of the last great blunders of our age." But as they say, "it ain't over until its over."

You can also post comments anonymously on the Courier Post Forum. This is the local paper that covers Camden and Campbells.Leonard F. Griehs' Cammpbells Investor Relations/ Analyst recently stated he is not worried about the project negatively affecting Campbell Soup stock prices, since he feels it is simply a matter of local interest. Aren't all development projects local in nature? Please let it be known to those below that there are people and a organization that feels all these "local" projects are connected to form a national issue of great importance and concern by contacting those listed below and taking part in the CP Forum and CNU Salon.
