Camden Diocese to Build Senior Housing in Rio Grande

Camden Diocese | 8 weeks 2 days ago | Comments 4

RIO GRANDE –– The Roman Catholic Diocese of Camden wants to build a 73-unit age-restricted affordable housing project here and Middle Township wants to help.

The diocese, which owns a 17-acre tract of land on Route 47 near the intersection of Shunpike Road, is in the process of applying to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for a grant that would fund the project to built there.

The diocese operates two similar senior facilities in Cape May County – Victorian Towers in Cape May and the recently completed Haven House at St. John of God in North Cape May.

All those workers who don't speak English are now living in Lower getting all the free services they can. Guess they need something else to build. Heard a lot of the condos can't even pass inspection. Maybe that has something to do with speaking English too. Where are the contractors that hire them when all of this is going on? In Philadelphia?
Good old HUD. The downfall of the country. They have driven up taxes,with billions of dollars for free services. Rents up to $1,200 a month. No end in sight. And you, the taxpayers are paying for it.

Middle taxpayers are again getting the shaft.

When will the Committee show some compassion for the taxpayer?

I heard they cleared 15 feet of mature trees beyond what was stated in the plans. If you live adjacent to this property - get your land surveyed before they start clearing.

Before your town approves this development - get a commitment that the noise ordinance will be enforced. The contractors used by the Diocese violated the noise ordinance on a daily basis in Lower Township. Like to get shaken out of bed at 6 am on a Saturday because they have the heavy machinery going full force already (even though they're not supposed to start till 7 am). Better yet - they're even working on Thanksgiving Day. And then the police say that the workers don't speak English so they have a hard time getting them to stop.
The Diocese has no control over the contractors they hire.
