Economic growth in Camden City has been on the rise in the past quarter-century, thanks in no small part to the collaborative relationships led by its government and organizations like Cooper’s Ferry Partnership to recruit new business. Since 2016, the city has enjoyed $2.5 billion in economic investment from private investors as well as from tax incentives offered by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (EDA), which has provided millions of dollars of value to businesses looking to put down roots in the city.
Employers are choosing Camden for a variety of reasons. Market access is key, Camden is a logistical hub in the Northeast Corridor, well-supported by excellent public transit infrastructure and proximity to major highways, railways, ports, and airports. It’s a higher-educational and innovation nexus too, housing campuses of Rutgers and Rowan Universities as well as programs at Camden County College that can springboard students into the next level of their academic and career plans. It’s home to The Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, some of the region’s best-recognized health systems, Cooper, Lourdes and Virtua, and attendant specialty groups like MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper.
With the recent additions of high-profile companies like Subaru, Holtec International, American Water, and The Michael’s Organization and long-time anchors like Campbell Soup Company, L3 and the Coriell Institute for Medical Research, the outlook for Camden is bright.
At Cooper’s Ferry Partnership we have the tools and expertise to coordinate your business needs to invest, expand and grow in the City of Camden.
