ABSTRACT
The article reports on the benefits of municipal mergers particularly to the business sector and economic development efforts in New Jersey, according to advocates for local government consolidation. According to these advocates, cost savings play a significant role in attracting business investments to smaller towns. A non-profit organization, Courage to Connect New Jersey, and those residents who attempt to combine Merchantville with Cherry Hill, are supporting efforts for local consolidation.
