BORO BRIEFS SPRING 2017

GLASSBORO
NEWSLETTER
The Glassboro Summit Conference, usually just called the Glassboro
Summit, was the 23–25 June 1967 meeting of the heads of government of
the USA and USSR in Glassboro at Hollybush Mansion. Johnson liked its
homey atmosphere which complemented his unpretentious style. Kosygin
admired it too, saying to Johnson as he stepped out of his limousine,
“You chose a nice place.” We couldn’t agree more.

MAYOR LEO MCCABE
“We take local businesses to another level and
wholeheartedly support the over 500
businesses in town. When our businesses are
successful, the Borough thrives. “

MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR
“The noblest search is the search for excellence.” - Lyndon B. Johnson
Great schools, an ever-growing Rowan University, a vibrant
downtown, our amazing new Town Square, great infrastructures,
safe neighborhoods and caring people. These are a few of my
favorite things about Glassboro. And as Mayor, I am pleased to
invite you to experience everything that makes Glassboro the
cultural and economic capital of South Jersey and my favorite
place to be!
Glassboro’s explosive growth has created a thriving suburban
lifestyle - “321 Glassboro properties sold in 2016, up 44% in one
year” - Philadelphia Magazine March 2017 - because it’s being
managed carefully through adherence to strict Borough
ordinances and solid planning. Borough leaders anticipate
growth, prepare for it and consider developers as partners in the
community’s growth. The Borough Council continues to seek
opportunities to increase the Borough’s value by working to
attract new business to our community. We also continue to support our existing
businesses by sharing information on services and by providing programs to help them
succeed. We take local businesses to another level and wholeheartedly support the over
500 businesses in town. When our businesses are successful, the Borough thrives.
Glassboro is decidedly pro-business, in addition the continued support of over 500
businesses, the Boro has spurred an incredible amount of development recently, which
once complete, the Rowan Boulevard Redevelopment will include 144,537 sf of retail
space, 114 apartments, a 129 room hotel, 2,771 student beds, 82,000 sf of classroom
space, 28,000 sf of medical space, a 17,700 sf fitness center, a 1.75 acre town square and
2 parking garages totaling over 2,300 parking spaces. It has created thousands of union
construction jobs and hundreds of permanent jobs. Yet we retain a small-town feeling,
evidenced by events such as a century-old Memorial Day Parade each spring that features
bands and floats, Gloucester County’s largest Egg Hunt with 25,000 eggs, a Car Show with
over 300 cars, St. Anthony’s Italian Festival, Craft beer Festival with over 30 Breweries,
Community Day, and Boro In Lights Tree Lighting Ceremony that brings tens of thousands
of people together to celebrate. This is just a sample of such events!
I invite you to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the “Glassboro Summit” which was held in
Glassboro, the 23–25 June 1967. The heads of government of the USA and the USSR—
President Lyndon B. Johnson and Premier Alexei Kosygin, met to discuss United States-
Soviet Union relations. This is the only summit ever held in the United States and was the
beginning of the cold war. The generally amicable atmosphere of the summit was referred
to as the "Spirit of Glassboro" and is seen to have improved Soviet–US relations.
Please join me and Borough Council on June 24, 2017, for a Borough-wide celebration of
this commemorative event, where we will celebrate the ever-present “Spirit of Glassboro”.

GLASSBORO PROGRESS
After 59 years, the remains of Glassboro’s Ellis Manor, a long abandoned affordable housing project will be
demolished. The site was composed of 60 family units and 16 senior units and was long known for its high
occurrence of police activity and as an unsafe place to live or visit. On May 11, 2017, after recent asbestos
remediation,
Glassboro’s Housing Authority (GHA) demolished the public housing development, with plans to
replace the structures with the Lincoln Boulevard Project, an affordable senior housing community combined with
apartments for developmentally disabled community members.
Future residents will have multiple opportunities to enrich their lives socially and holistically in the newly built
community and in Glassboro.
”The start of work on this project is great news for the Ellis Manor community and for all
of Glassboro. It is encouraging to see the cleanup begin at this location after years of
planning and I applaud the state and county officials for their commitment to this
critically important project.”- Councilman Joe D’Alessandro
In order to fully revitalize this integral section of Glassboro, Pennrose and the GHA, with the tremendous support
of the Borough of Glassboro, have partnered to redevelop this 10-acre site with over 120 high-quality, affordable
units age-restricted for individuals and families ages 55+. The site will be redeveloped in two phases with each
phase comprising a portion of a four-story, three-wing building. The first phase, which will comprise the majority
of the building, will contain 65 units with 57 one-bedroom and eight two-bedroom units. All of the units in each
phase will be affordable to residents at or below 60% of Area Median Income (“AMI”). Seventeen (17) of the 65
units will be set-aside for individuals with developmental disabilities.
FUTURE RENDERING
DEMOLITION DAY
This project compliments the Boro’s over $425M project on the famed Rowan Boulevard and is helping to
continue the tradition of being a prosperous community for it’s residents. The Lincoln Boulevard revitalization
will act as a catalyst helping provide quality affordable housing to members of the local community. When
completed, the new development be professionally managed by Pennrose Management Company. If Pennrose is
successful in receiving state tax credits, the first phase of Lincoln Boulevard is scheduled to begin construction in
Spring 2018.
“It’s gratifying to see this long-awaited project is moving forward. The state, the
county, and the Borough are committed to building stronger communities and
revitalizing our economy, and this project is a great example of how we have
Glassboro on the right track.” - Councilman Hector Cabezas

The Glassboro Summit
Hollybush was always much more than a residence or dormitory, however, in 1967 it served as the backdrop for
some easing of Cold War tensions. At the time, a possible confrontation loomed between the United States and
the Soviet Union because the two superpowers favored opposing sides in the Arab-Israeli Six-Day War. There
was a public demand for a summit meeting to address the crisis, but a neutral venue was necessary. In June,
with Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin in New York to address the United Nations, President Lyndon B. Johnson
asked New Jersey Governor Richard J. Hughes to suggest a site for such a meeting. Hughes offered Glassboro
State College, located approximately halfway between New York and Washington. The offer was accepted, and
with only 16 hours notice, the official residence of Glassboro State President Thomas Robinson and his wife,
Margaret, had to be converted from a quiet campus home into a secure and sophisticated diplomatic locale.
On June 23-25, Johnson and Kosygin spent more than 7 1/2 hours in the building's library discussing ways and
means to head off nuclear war. Meeting at the same time in the Hollybush living room were other world-famous
Soviet and American statesmen: Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko, Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin, Dean
Rusk, Robert McNamara, McGeorge Bundy and W. Averell Harriman. The talks were successful, and Johnson
dubbed the relaxation of conflicts between the two countries and the promise of good future relations "the Spirit
of Hollybush."

Proposed Design of Arts District Mural
The Borough of Glassboro recently funded The Robins’ Nest Mosaic Family Success Center with an
arts grant of $10,000 to support a mosaic mural project to be led by world-renowned artist Isaiah Zagar
and created with community members. The Mosaic Family Success Center is a mainstay of both the
community of Glassboro and the Arts and Entertainment District on East High Street. The mosaic will
be designed by Isaiah Zagar to involve the community in a creative place-making project that will
establish the identity of the Center and its commitment to enhancing the quality of life through
creativity and the arts.
“The idea of a community mural as a downtown installation brings residents
together for a shared mission to make an important statement about the
importance of community. We hope the mural will raise awareness of the Arts &
Entertainment District and serve as a spark for other large scale art projects in
Glassboro.” - Councilwoman Anna Miller
The mosaic mural will energize the Arts and Entertainment District and will be created over a sixmonth
period from February 1 – July 30, 2017. During this time, Zagar will train two visual artist
students from Rowan University as interns to learn the skills and oversee the mural project. The
interns will be responsible for acquiring materials, arranging for technical support required for mural
installation and all project communication. Following their internship they will work under Zagar’s
direction in a one-week residency in Glassboro to erect the mural in conjunction with community
members. A final celebration and ribbon cutting ceremony is planned to celebrate the project
completion with the project partners, stakeholders and community members in July 2017.
Mosaic Family Success Center, operated by Robins’ Nest, provides services that support the goal to
strengthen individual and family functioning and empower community residents to acquire the
knowledge, skills, and resources they need to succeed and achieve optimal outcomes for children.
What takes place on any given day at the Family Success Center is a connection that enables
community members from all walks of life to share their talents, knowledge and experiences with
others so that anyone leaving will have a sense of renewed vision for their lives. www.glassborofsc.org
“A project such as this will not only bring the community together to create something beautiful and
historic, but will empower families and individuals to use their creativity and strengths to give back
and produce something they are proud of.” -Cari Burke, Family Success Center

GLASSBORO EDUCATION
THE NEW HOME OF THE WILLIAM G. ROHRER COLLEGE OF BUSINESS
HENRY M. ROWAN COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING HOLDS GRAND OPENING FOR
NEW BUILDING
Engineering Hall, the new building that Rowan University officially opened on Jan. 26, will enable the Henry M.
Rowan College of Engineering to increase its enrollment to 2,000 undergraduate and graduate students by 2023;
expand its programs; and grow its collaborations with business, industry
and government offices.
The nationally recognized College has been in high demand since it
opened in 1996, and that demand has only grown stronger recently. In
the last five years, Rowan Engineering virtually doubled its enrollment
to 1,488, still turning away good students who have to go elsewhere. In
almost five years, it has increased its hallmark Engineering Clinics 52
percent to 134 during fall semester 2016, with multidisciplinary teams
serving in many cases as the de facto R&D arm of local, national and
international companies and agencies. Between FY2011 and FY2016,
the College has increased its outside funding from $2.8 million to $8.9 million. And in the last few years, the
College added a Ph.D. program and a Biomedical Engineering Department and opened the Center for Research and
Education in Advanced Transportation Engineering Systems, among other initiatives.

GHS BIOMEDICAL TRACK DEBUTS FALL 2017
The first academic building dedicated to business education, Business Hall
was funded in part by nearly $40 million from the Building Our Future
Bond Act. Passed by voters in 2012, the referendum was the first bond act
to support construction at New Jersey higher education institutions in two
decades. Rowan received $117 million--the second largest amount of
funding in New Jersey.
The Building Our Future Bond Act, coupled with the 2012 Medical and
Health Sciences Education Restructuring Act, which designated Rowan as a
comprehensive research institution and gave the institution its second
medical school in Rowan School of Osteopathic Medicine, have been absolute game changers for Rowan and,
ultimately, South Jersey, Rowan University President Ali Houshmand said.
Read entire article at today.rowan.edu
Glassboro High School’s first Biomedical Program students will begin classes in the fall. The program is a
track within the district’s STEM Academy. The program encourages students to take a full-complement of high
school science and math courses, including honors biology, honors chemistry, honors geometry, honors precalculus,
AP chemistry, AP biology, AP calculus, etc. In 11th- and 12th-grades, students may work with
coordinator Susan Powers and a Rowan University contact to pursue biomedical courses at the university level.
Students could potentially take introduction to biomedical studies, anatomy and physiology, biometrics,
psychology, biology or chemistry at Rowan University. Each student’s interest, aptitude, and prior course
preparation will determine the course selection for that student. For more information on program specifics,
contact GHS teacher Susan Powers at spowers@glassboroschools.us.

GLASSBORO SCHOOL DISTRICT TO RECEIVE $2.1 MILLION GRANT
Glassboro Intermediate School recently received a competitive grant worth approximately $2.1 million, which will
be awarded over a five-year-period. The funding will come through New Jersey’s allocation of the federal School
Improvement Grant program. The school district announced the grant award at its February Board of Education
Meeting and at a small GIS gathering on March 2.
“I am excited for the students, staff and community here in Glassboro. A grant this size is virtually unheard of in
South Jersey, and the potential outcome is extraordinary. We have the opportunity to take our school from good to
great,” said GIS Principal Kriston Matthews. “The grant application, submission and revision processes were very
arduous, challenging and competitive but thankfully fruitful. I am fortunate to work with an amazing team to assist
me in bringing this to fruition. The Glassboro Board of Education and the superintendent were kind enough to
celebrate this achievement at a recent board meeting.”
Dr. Mark Silverstein, Glassboro School District’s superintendent, enthusiastically welcomed the news. “When I
started here in 2009, I met with 90 community stakeholders in 90 days. Parents wanted to see changes at Glassboro
Intermediate School. I made sure that classes were being taught by subject matter experts. Principal Matthews
subsequently came on board at the school. This will build on improvements that he and I made with the support of
the board of education,” said Silverstein.
As part of the grant, the school designed a Positive Action Plan. Plan goals include cultivating an intrinsic interest
in learning, promoting a positive educational environment, and supporting academic achievement.
All GIS students will receive laptops to infuse blended learning. A family support liaison, an additional guidance
counselor, a data specialist, a project coach and strategic kits that address student social and emotional learning
competencies will also be supported through the grant. Finally, the school looks to incorporate activities that
enhance students’ social and emotional growth by letting them explore interest areas.
“I am very proud of the progress that Glassboro Intermediate School has made over the past few years. Being
noted [by the non-profit organization JERSEYCAN] as a Top 10 School for performance gains was fantastic but
receiving a competitive grant for over $2 million is doubly amazing,” noted Matthews.

HOUSING REHABILITATION IN GLASSBORO
The Borough has a grant program available to assist low and
moderate income residents with housing rehab projects. Since 2007,
117 units throughout the Borough have been completed, with a total
of $2,925,000 invested in substantial repairs. In all properties, at
least one major system repair was upgraded, including Heating,
Plumbing, Roofing, Windows, Electrical, and Major Structural items.
All units were brought up to Glassboro Property Maintenance Code
and inspected by the Borough’s Inspectors. The loans were 0%
deferred payment loans, due when title to the property changed or is
transferred to another person. Since the completion of these units, a
number of the original applicants have sold their homes.
As a result, the money loaned to these homeowners was paid
back. These recaptured funds are now being made available for
new applicants.
To participate, homeowners are required to meet the income
eligibility; own and reside in the property; have adequate
property insurance; be current on their taxes and utilities; have at
least $10,000 in major system repairs. The average loan is
