Rowan Boulevard Project Leaps Forward

March 25, 2008

Years of careful planning by the Borough of Glassboro and Rowan have led to the creation of an ambitious redevelopment plan that officials believe will propel both the University and Borough forward for decades to come.

Glassboro Mayor Leo McCabe, municipal officials and Rowan President Donald Farish unveiled plans for Rowan Boulevard, a new roadway being constructed from the east edge of campus to the borough’s historic downtown, at a March 20 press conference. The plans call for the construction of a Barnes & Noble university bookstore and an 884-bed student apartment complex along the new roadway.
