This project is part of a larger effort by IPA to be a leader in conducting research and convening forums and workshops relating to major governance and economic development issues in the Northeast Corridor (NEC). In this report, an effort has been made to provide definitions for the NEC, to illustrate its dimensions on a series of maps, and provide a directory of the major agencies that have some role to play in planning, building, and maintaining transportation resources. Because there are so many public jurisdictions and private-sector players involved in transportation planning in the NEC, the picture is often blurred and confusing. We hope this description of stakeholder agencies and their roles and missions will provide some clarity as policymakers move forward to provide greater multimodal connectivity and renewal of aging infrastructure.

  • Camden-Souvenir-Fold
    CAMDEN, NEW JERSEY Camden, N. J., named after Lord Camden was settled in 1681 by William Cooper. Archibald Mickle and Mr. Kaighn. Camden became a town in 1773, a city in 1828, and quickly rose to the fifth greatest city in New Jersey for its manufacturing output. It has 237 diversified indus- tries using about $112,090,216 worth of raw materials, fuel, power, etc. per year. Camden is New Jersey's most highly industrialized city, and it leads the entire nation in the proportion of its population engaged in industry, with 24½% of its 118.000 people industrially employed, Camden has more plants which are the world's largest in their respective lines of in- dustry than any other city of its size in the world. Practically everything from a steel pen to a battleship is made in Camden. Here are the plants of Campbells Soup Co., New York Ship Building Corporation, R. C. A. Victor Co., Esterbrook Pen Company and scores of others widely known. The department of commerce places the value of products manufactured in 1929 at $231,135,097. The advancement of the Victor Talking Machine Co., forerunner of the present R. C. A. Victor Co., into the field of radio, has made Camden one of the greatest centers of this industry in the country. Camden has nine miles of waterfront along the Delaware and Cooper Rivers which lead into the Atlantic Ocean and is known as the only Atlantic Coast port situated on fresh water. The thirty foot Delaware River Channel which has been extended to Camden’s new marine termi- nals, present ample depth of water for the large ocean going vessels.
