Coming to Camden New Jersey
Saturday, January 24, 2004
Additional businesses and initiatives announced Friday at "Invest in Camden Day" include:
Krispy Kreme doughnuts and Starbucks coffee at RC Bistro are slated to open on the ground floor of the Victor Building, formerly RCA's Nipper Building, in mid-February.
 | Subway will open at the same time next to RC Bistro. The two restaurants
and a new dry cleaner cover only 20 percent of its retail space, so there is
room to grow.
Twenty Horse Tavern, on Second Street, near South Jersey Port Corp.,
(formerly Paige's) is slated to open by the end of the year with the help of
$100,000 from the Economic Development Authority and $200,000 from PNC Bank.

Cooper University Hospital expects to invest $100 million in new
construction in the city, adjacent to its footprint on Haddon Avenue and
Mickle Boulevard.
|
Creation of a private venture capital fund, called the New Jersey Early
State Partnership, was announced by the Rutgers Center for Management and
Entrepreneurship, which has $25 million to $40 million to spend in Camden.
|
Affordable to market-value housing in East and South Camden, and $500
million in state funds for new schools. | |
