Rutgers Study on 15- minute Neighborhoods Virtual Open House and Workshop. 

There will be a virtual open house and workshop for residents of Cherry Hill, NJ conducted online via Zoom on Thursday, March 30, 2023 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. The purpose of the open house is to hear from residents about:

  • What makes Cherry Hill a great place to live?
  • What types of neighborhood amenities are most important to them and what amenities they would like to be able to access within a short 15-minute walk or bike ride?
  • What would make it easier and safer for people to walk and bike in their community?
  • How we can make Cherry Hill healthier, more equitable and just, and more resilient? 

The open house and workshop will be conducted by a team of planners and researchers at Rutgers University in partnership with the Cherry Hill Department of Community Development and The Nature Conservancy.
