"One of the three original Levittowns in America, Willingboro is home to hundreds of nearly identical houses that were designed to be built quickly. The project site, developed as Willingboro Plaza in 1959, provided the main retail and commercial tax base for the residential population of 33,000. The failure and abandonment of the 56-acre shopping center in 1990 was disastrous for the community.

"The masterplan for the plaza, developed with the help of the community, aims to remediate the brownfield site with a grant of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The plan calls for additional commercial and residential development, using as many of the existing structures as possible."
