Waterfront South is a neighborhood in Camden, New Jersey. Located in the southern part of the city, below Central Waterfront, between the Delaware River and Interstate 676, the neighborhood has a population of 1,781.[2][3] The South Camden Historic District, bounded by Jackson St, South Fourth St, Chelton Ave, and Railroad Avenue, comprises 686 acres (278 ha) and 608 buildings,[1][4] including the headquarters of the defunct South Camden Trust Company.[1][5][6]
New York Shipbuilding Corporation, in the Port of Camden, was located many years along the waterfront on the west side of the neighborhood and once was its largest employer.[7] In July 2014, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority awarded the Holtec International a $260 million tax incentive to expand operations at the site in the Port of Camden.[8][9] The proposed Glassboro–Camden Line light rail system would stop in the neighbourhood at Ferry Avenue parallel and west of the North-South Freeway.[10]
In August 2014, ground was broken on Phoniex Park, which will provide access to the waterfront on land previously used for industry.[11][12]
