Situated in the heart of the
Northeast Corridor, one of the premier markets and manufacturing centers in the
world, Cumberland County offers a combination of assets which are not found in
anywhere else in the region. With great proximity to places such as New York,
Washington, Atlantic City, and Philadelphia, the County provides an uncongested

Twice voted one of the "best places to live in New Jersey" by Money Magazine,

picturesque scenery. This combination of assets is extremely rare and makes Cumberland
County an excellent commercial and industrial destination.
Major Developments
A number of national and regional retail chains have located in Cumberland County,
which has helped to enhance our outstanding retail service marketplace. The Cumberland
Crossings Mall provides 300,000 square feet of commercial shopping space and features
a variety of specialty stores, as well as the major retail chains Wal-Mart and
Staples. In addition, the Cumberland Mall has evolved into a major regional shopping
center, featuring large anchors such as Boscov's, Home Depot, Toys-R-Us, and the

Old Navy, and Victoria's Secret make it a truly complete shopping experience.
A Home to Business
