Cumberland Development Corporation

The Cumberland Development Corporation, (CDC), is a not-for-profit community development corporation. It was created by several municipalities and the Bridgeton Area Chamber of Commerce.

It provides economic development services for the Southern New Jersey municipalities of Commercial, Deerfield, Downe, Fairfield, Greenwich, Hopewell, Lawrence, Maurice River, Shiloh, Stow Creek and Upper Deerfield.

With the encouragement of the Bridgeton Area Chamber of Commerce, the mayors of several of municipalities, area business representatives and representatives of the Chamber of Commerce began meeting together in 1995 to discuss ways in which they could cooperate on a range of economic, social, and community issues.

Discussions involved the possibility of shared services and solutions to common problems. In December of 1995, the group established a new, not-for-profit corporation, to promote economic development and intermunicipal cooperation in the region.

In 1998, the Board of Directors, hired a full-time executive director and through contracts with area municipalities, developed revenue and began serving the area and focusing on its mission.

The CDC promotes economic development in the region, while stimulating increased coordination, cooperation, and communication, between business and government.
