Moorestown has roots that go back 300-years and buildings that housed
British officers during the Revolutionary War but it is also a
developing suburb in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. The Township
was seeking to retain part of its agricultural heritage, preserve the
most important historic buildings, maintain its downtown from the
pressures of suburban shopping centers and guide the use of its
remaining undeveloped lands to protect its natural resources. Clarke
Caton Hintz crafted a comprehensive master plan over 37 public meetings
that created a consensus on the balance between these objectives. The
master plan includes an open space and recreation plan to preserve
farmland and environmentally sensitive stream corridors, a historic
preservation element to address a two-phase method of implementing a
local district, a build out analysis of the remaining developable land
in Moorestown and a special town center plan to address parking and
design concerns.
