Major Construction Underway All Over Moorestown
A theater, a town hall, athletic fields, an office building and more—stuff's going up all across town.
These days it seems like half of Moorestown is under construction.
From the new Regal Cinemas theater at the mall, to the office building going in at the Little Acme, to the oft-debated municipal complex on Second Street, there's no shortage of major projects—public and private—underway all over town.
In case you can't keep them all straight, we've provided a rundown below on most of the major ones, including what they're for, how much they cost, when they started and, most importantly, when they'll finish.
