Moorestown Council unanimously approved a proposed ordinance on introduction to create business park zoning in place of the existing specially restricted industrial business zoning at its July 13 meeting.

The change would make it easier for the township to compete with surrounding towns, which have a much easier time welcoming businesses because they don't have the same restrictions Moorestown has. Read more here: Proposed Changes May Allow More Alcohol Sales In Moorestown
