Norcross: Rutgers-Rowan partnership ‘most important thing’ for Camden in 50 years

When both houses of the Legislature passed a complex bit of legislation to merge parts of New Jersey’s three largest universities, it was a proud moment for George E. Norcross III, for whom the announcement represented the culmination of a decade’s worth of work.

“This is the most important thing to happen in the city of Camden for 50 years,” said Norcross, the influential power broker who runs Conner, Strong & Buckelew and chairs the board of Cooper University Hospital. “A lot of people came together and did the impossible by June 30, (which) every talking head predicted would never happen.”  (Waters, NJBIZ)
