11. Mayor Francisco Moran said, “Illegal dumping is unsightly, unlawful, and costs the city over $4 million annually.
This winning project provides a unique way to bring together residents and artists to address this issue with
creativity and create a brighter future for Camden.”
“Anyone taking a PATCO train
through the city can see the
destruction and decay caused by
criminal dumping in Camden,”
said Camden County Freeholder
Jeffrey Nash, liaison to the
Camden County Department of
Public Works. “We are going to
work to not only create art
installations, but craft and
construct places where our
community can thrive, and what
we hope to be the very
definition of a third place for
residents to congregate outside
their home and workplace.”
