An ambitious plan to turn the uninhabited 400-acre Burlington Island into a historical theme park is advancing, a Mount Holly developer says, even as the state is moving to designate the island’s southern end for the dumping of dredge spoils. Karen Robbins, chief executive of Woolman Community Development,
the group the Board of Island Managers chose three years ago to develop the site, said her company wanted to turn the Delaware River island into a re-created 17th-century Lenni Lenape village, trading post, and fort. The park, she said, would be similar to the Plimouth Plantation tourist attraction in Massachusetts. http://bit.ly/z4bom6
