GLOUCESTER CITY NJ–Sometimes you shake your head and wonder why there are so many empty store fronts in Gloucester City. A great community like \”The Holy City\”, located on the bank of the Delaware River, with great residents, should have a bustling business district.

For example, Joe Feldman, owner of Boardwalk Bail Bonds, applied for a certificate of occupancy with the city housing office in July to open his business at 112 North Broadway. That building has been empty for the last two years. Feldman said everything was going along smoothly until Robert Booth, the president of the Gloucester City Business Association (GCBA) filed an appeal with Joe Stecklair, the City’s Zoning Officer, to block the opening.
