New Jersey Asm. John J. Burzichelli to address Kiwanis Club of Greater Woodbury about Port of Paulsboro

Deputy Speaker John J. Burzichelli will speak to the Kiwanis Club of Greater Woodbury on March 17, 2016.

Known for engaging with audiences on a variety of topics, the Assemblyman will speak about the Port of Paulsboro. Asm. Burzichelli worked with Senate President Stephen Sweeney for more than a decade on this project.

Construction of the Paulsboro Marine Terminal began in 2011, the first new marine terminal to be built in South Jersey in the last 50 years. The Port of Paulsboro is expected to be a multi-purpose terminal covering approximately 150 acres of waterfront land.

Rail traffic will play a central role in the movement of steel and other cargo over nearly three miles of railroad track. Previously, Paulsboro's port stood vacant for more than a decade after the BP oil refinery located there had closed. The Port of Paulsboro is expected to bring between about 850–2,000 jobs to the area.

The public is invited to this event at Charlie Brown’s, 111 N Broad Street, Woodbury, starting at 6:30 p.m. An optional dinner is available for $16.00 and includes the famous Unlimited Farmer’s Market Salad Bar™.
