The Camden County Board of Commissioners held a meeting on October 17, 2024, where several community projects and initiatives were highlighted, alongside acknowledgments of local efforts and upcoming events.

During the meeting, officials celebrated recent ribbon-cutting ceremonies for various recreational facilities, including a new dog park, skateboard park, and softball field at Cooper River Park. The completion of New Brooklyn Park was also noted, with ongoing developments at Wiggins Marina and other parks across the county. Commissioner Young emphasized the rapid progress of these projects and expressed gratitude to the teams involved in their execution.

In addition to infrastructure updates, the meeting addressed community engagement efforts. October is recognized as National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and a free webinar is scheduled for October 30 to support this initiative. Furthermore, a fall walking tour and celebration in Haddonfield is set for October 19, focusing on the historical significance of the community, particularly its African American heritage.

The meeting also included acknowledgments of individual contributions. Commissioner Dyer recognized John Regalazzo for his 37 years of service as chair of the Camden County Mosquito Commission, while Commissioner Betteridge reported on successful health initiatives, including flu shot availability and upcoming conferences on food insecurity.

The meeting concluded with a reminder of the next town hall meeting in Pennsauken, which has been relocated to Eden's Garden on Route 73, scheduled for October 22 at 5 PM. The commissioners expressed their appreciation for the hard work of county employees and the importance of community involvement in ongoing projects and events.
