Camden County commissioners introduce 2025 budget, bond ordinance for county college and dozens of contracts; public hearing set for May 15

The Camden County Board of Commissioners on an introductory reading announced the 2025 county budget and introduced a bond ordinance to finance improvements at Camden County College, along with dozens of contracts, grants and appointments spanning public works, parks, corrections and county services.

Director Cappelli read the meeting notice into the record and said, “This meeting has been properly advertised and posted in accordance with the Open Public Meetings Act.” He and commissioners then read a list of resolutions and authorizations the board will consider; the board set a public hearing on the budget and bond ordinance for May 15, 2025, at 12 p.m. in the Camden County Courthouse, 520 Market Street, Sixth Floor Meeting Room, Camden, New Jersey.

Why it matters: The introduced budget items and bond ordinance would fund road and infrastructure projects across Camden County, safety and correctional facility upgrades, park and historic-trust grant applications, and countywide contracts for services such as fuel, radio maintenance and lease agreements. Several items state that funding is contingent upon passage of the 2025 temporary or permanent budgets.
