Rep. Norcross Presents $500,000 in Community Project Funding for New Haddonfield Police Department Headquarters

CHERRY HILL, NJ - Today, Rep. Donald Norcross (D-NJ) presented $500,000 in Community Project Funding (CPF) to the Borough of Haddonfield for a new police department headquarters. The funding was secured through the Fiscal Year 2024 government funding package.

For decades, the Haddonfield Police Department has been housed in the windowless basement of a 100-year-old building. The new headquarters demonstrates a commitment to police officers' well-being and training, improving overall public safety.

"Community Project Funding grants invest in our communities and support economic development, job creation, and critical projects that improve the quality of life," Rep. Norcross said. "I'm proud to have secured this funding for Haddonfield to build a new police headquarters. Our officers will no longer have to deal with issues of flooding or mold and can focus on keeping our community safe."

"Congressman Norcross has been a staunch supporter of my efforts to get the Haddonfield Police Department the funding necessary to purchase and retrofit a vacant building for its new headquarters," said Mayor Bianco Bezich. "This half-million dollars is evidence of a partnership and shared commitment to improving the safety of Haddonfield and the region, creating a visible presence in the community, and a facility that meets 21st-century policing standards."

Rep. Norcross recently secured 14 CPF awards totaling $13,565,031for projects throughout New Jersey's First Congressional District to support economic development, create jobs, and respond to the most pressing needs of the community. More information on the 14 projects can be found here.
