EMINENT DOOM NEARER IN CRAMER HILL
+-+-+-+-+-+
Hundreds of homes and businesses -- including some
1,200 homes currently housing some 5,000 people --
in Cramer Hill, Camden, are set for destruction due
to a redevelopment plan put together by the city
with Cherokee Camden LLC. Some think the new layout
will make a better Cramer Hill; others don't, among
whom stands our interviewee, Carmen Ubarry-Rivera,
president of the Cramer Hill Residents Association
and one of the residents represented in a civil suit
to halt the project.
This is the second stand-alone episode in a series
of two. Topics include:
* What the CHRA is in favor of: A description of
the Cramer Hill Tomorrow Plan.
* A meeting at which community input was solicited
but ignored.
* The result of the July 28 City Council vote.
* A visit to Cramer Hill by Republican gubernatorial
candidate Doug Forrester and a meeting with
Democrat John Corzine. The reaction of each to
the Cramer Hill situation.
* Results of opposition to the taking of the first
19 homes.
EPISODE SPONSOR:
Bill Hargrove, owner of the Hargrove Demolition
Company and other businesses, who saw how the people
were being "misled" and decided to do something
about it.
