Interview I John Bantivoglio III
Battling Port of Camden Redevelopment
Monday, April 25, 2005
John Bantivoglio Ill, vice president of Camden Iron & Metal, is fighting a proposal to put houses, retail space and offices on land now occupied by the Port of Camden. About a year ago Bantivoglio and people from a dozen other local companies formed the Waterfront Alliance to Save the Port District. They want the Port of Camden to remain zoned for industrial use and say the port will suffer if Beckett Street Terminal is redeveloped into a residential and mixed-use facility. Bantivoglio, 36, is the fourth generation of his family to run Camden Iron & Metal, a metal recycler that employs 200 people and generates more than $1 50 million in annual revenue. He spoke with Associate Editor Jennifer Nelson about the objectives of the Waterfront Alliance.

Camden's City Council acted wisely last month when it scrapped plans to redevelop the city's central waterfront area until after a new study assesses the state of the port. This was a case in which a government body listened to business advocates and made the right call.

The plan to put high-end housing in the area just south of the waterfront's tourist district, which is likely to come up again, should face a high test.

Redevelopment at Port Should Not Be Rushed
Thursday, March 10, 2005
Camden's most recent master plan, adopted in 2003, calls for much of the Central Waterfront and Waterfront South districts to be set aside for port-related issues.

The master plan says the area south of Clinton Street, where the Beckett Street Terminal begins, and west of 3rd Street, should be redeveloped with landscape buffers that would separate the commerce and industry of the port from residential areas.
