1. New Subaru of Cherry Hill Dealership Heads Back To Planning Board; Supports New NJDEP Requirements (42freeway.com) — A significantly expanded Subaru of Cherry Hill dealership is back before the Cherry Hill Planning Board on September 8 for site plan changes driven by updated state environmental rules.

3. The godfather of US sports betting (inquirer.com) — Cherry Hill readers can look forward to Asianfresh Food Market's grand opening on Sept. 12 and should prepare for extra detours this week as Camden County roadwork targets Cherry Hill routes.
