In Salem Township, local officials have greenlighted a significant new zoning plan to establish a technology and energy campus. This ambitious $1.4 billion development will span 4,466 acres, affecting 194 families in the area. Alongside the main project, amenities such as a micro-hospital and recreational spaces are promised to enhance community welfare.
