Camden County Town Hall: Week of Nov. 2 — Gloucester Township's Data Center Ban, a Haddonfield Ladder Truck and Lawnside's Turnpike Land Sale
Election Day week: Cherry Hill's Planning Board hears a Hillview sign and a lot split, Lawnside votes on salaries and a land sale to the Turnpike Authority, and Gloucester Township's data center ban went before the Planning Board.
Good morning, Camden County. It's Election Day week, so the meeting calendar is lighter than usual. Cherry Hill's Planning Board meets tonight on a Hillview Shopping Center sign and a lot split, and Lawnside's council votes Wednesday on a salary ordinance and a land sale to the New Jersey Turnpike Authority. Looking back, Gloucester Township's Planning Board took up a ban on data centers, Haddonfield introduced a bond to buy a used ladder truck, and Cherry Hill's council had its stormwater ordinance up for final reading. Agendas can change, so check each meeting page for the official documents.

Decisions behind
Gloucester Township: a data center ban
The Planning Board's Oct. 27 agenda included two ordinances sent over for a master plan consistency review: one prohibiting data centers in the township, and one amending the Blackwood West redevelopment plan. The board also heard Twp Capital Ventures LLC's minor site plan for professional suites at 121 W. Church St., a former charter school building, and had a resolution for Independence Boulevard LLC (Oasis at Sicklerville). Minutes aren't posted yet, so the board's recommendations aren't on record.
The Zoning Board's Oct. 28 meeting was canceled. That was the tentative date for US Home, LLC's 743-home application (ZB 26-010), which was postponed in mid-October, and no new date has been posted. At the Oct. 26 Township Council meeting, the agenda included rejecting bids and re-advertising the reconditioning of the Community Park tennis courts, and permission for the Blackwood Fire Company's annual Christmas parade.
Haddonfield: a ladder truck bond and holiday parking
At their Oct. 26 meeting, the commissioners had first readings of a bond ordinance to buy a used fire ladder truck and an amendment to Chapter 232 covering multi-way stops. The consent agenda included:
- Awarding a $625,700 bid for state-funded improvements to Mountwell Avenue.
- A moratorium on specific downtown parking for the holiday season, Nov. 27 through Jan. 3, and approval for the Partnership for Haddonfield to hold Candlelight Shopping downtown.
- Joining Cherry Hill in a shared domestic violence response team, and applying for a Safe Routes to School grant.
Cherry Hill: stormwater rules and a cap bank
The Oct. 26 Township Council agenda had two ordinances on second reading: the stormwater ordinance the Planning Board sent over this month, which requires annual maintenance reports for private stormwater facilities, and one conveying easements to the state Department of Transportation. Council also had Ordinance 2026-17, which lets the township exceed its budget appropriation limit and set up a cap bank, plus contracts including next year's Independence Day fireworks and roadwork. Minutes aren't posted yet, so the final votes aren't on record.
Gibbsboro: cannabis rules and a $500,000 bond
At its Oct. 28 meeting, Borough Council took up the amendment to Chapter 120, its cannabis rules, and the $500,000 bond ordinance for municipal facilities, with $475,000 to be borrowed. Council passed resolutions accepting the 2026 Best Practices Inventory, adding a New Jersey Historic Trust grant to the budget, hiring a firm to manage off-duty police services and joining a cooperative pricing agreement with Cherry Hill. The next meeting is Monday, Nov. 23, moved up for Thanksgiving.
