very great education growing up, and it's something you kind of take for granted, Price said. When you see the
same public education system for
someone else and it looks so different, it kind of boggles the mind
that were selling it as the same
thing for everybody.
Price said she first learned of
TFA as a freshman in college
from an upperclassman involved
with the organization while the
two served on the student government association. She learned
more about the organization with
a professor during her junior
year while participating in an independent study.

Roadway improvement
projects for the fall
By Freeholder Ian Leonard
The Camden
County Freeholder
Boards Department
of Public Works
(CCDPW) has scheduled roadway improvement projects
benefitting motorists
in several Camden
County communities
throughout the fall.
Improving our roadway infrastructure while increasing highway safety
is one of the best investments we can
make in our county. Each year the
Freeholder Board identifies roadways and bridges that are in need of
improvement across our County.
About $400,000 in enhancements
are taking place at the intersection of
Factory and Tansboro Roads in
Winslow Township that will bring a
new traffic light to this well-traveled
juncture. Over the years as more residents have moved into the southern
portion of the county, vehicle volume
has grown creating the need for a signalized intersection.
Southern Camden County has experienced a growth of businesses and
homes that have brought with it increased traffic. We are continually
improving our roadway infrastructure to keep up with that growth and
anticipate future demand. In addition, having a controlled intersection
will make it safer for both pedestrian,
bike and motor vehicle traffic in the
area.
Also this fall, a $1 million project
for the reconstruction of Stone Road
between the White Horse Pike and
East Atlantic Avenue will result in a
newly paved roadway surface, new
drainage infrastructure and additional concrete work through the boroughs of Laurel Springs and
Lindenwold.
Stone Road has is a major artery
through Laurel Springs and Lindenwold so Im happy to see this project
underway. Besides repaving the
