By signing this petition you support our goal of requiring Merchantville Borough Council to take the steps necessary to begin a merger with Cherry Hill NJ to save our community.Kathy Birmingham, signed the petition on May 28, 2010 and wrote the following comment.
“Thank you for leading this first step towards strengthening life in Merchantville. In the past 32 years, I have seen our property value rise , stagnate, and now fall below other towns in our area. What could be the reason? I believe our high school affiliation is having a more obvious negative effect on property which is now exacerbated by the economic condition of the country. We sold our house in Collingswood 32 years ago. that house was 30 smaller than our current home in Merchantville. That house now, is appraised 25% higher than our house in merchantville. Our investment in Merchantville over these past 32 years, will evaporate if no action is taken. We cannot afford to wait!”
