'The Place in Haddonfield' will include 20 rental units on a space next to Borough Hall.
Haddonfield mayor Colleen Bianco Bezich speaks during groundbreaking Thursday for The Place at Haddonfield, a long-delayed complex of affordable rental townhouses to be built behind Borough Hall . With her are commissioners Kevin Roche and Frank Troy .The brief ceremony to mark the start of construction on a downtown Haddonfield townhouse development Thursday broke ground in more ways than one.
“It’s critically important for people to have the ability to achieve housing in a community like ours,” Mayor Colleen Bianco Bezich said during the event, which was held on the single-acre construction site behind Borough Hall.Bezich attributed some of the delays in recent years to the relatively small size of the the Place at Haddonfield, which was reduced from 28 to 20 units in part because some nearby residents were concerned about increasing the neighborhood’s population density.
“There is some feeling of ‘the other,’ or of the bubble being burst, when we welcome everyone into a community,” Bezich said. “That’s the furthest thing from what we want to see. We can’t wait the 20 individuals or families who are going to be part of the fabric of Haddonfield.” New Jersey needs about 200,000 affordable housing units. The 22,000 that have been produced since 2015 and the estimated 40,000 to 50,000 in the pipeline “aren’t even close to what we need,” Gordon said.
