Camden County Town Hall: Meetings, Week of Oct. 12, 2026

Good morning, Camden County. Voorhees has the busiest week: a Wawa site plan and an apartment project go to its Planning Board Wednesday, and the Township Committee takes up three traffic and property ordinances tonight. Cherry Hill, Camden City and Gloucester Township also meet. Last week, Collingswood had backyard hens and a water tower redeveloper on its agenda, and Lawnside asked its Planning Board to look at data centers. Agendas can change, so check each meeting page for the official documents.

Decisions behind

Most of these are drawn from posted agendas because final minutes aren't out yet. Treat them as what came before each board.
