CUSTIS: FOOD DESERT A MAN-MADE DISASTER
New Mayor Needs to Act Immediately;
Will Utilize State’s Program to Attract Full-Service Supermarket in First Term
(CAMDEN, NJ) – Mayoral candidate Elton Custis today declared Camden’s food desert a man-made disaster, saying he’ll utilize the state’s new tax incentive program to solve a decades-old problem that cost Camden residents dearly.
“Camden’s food desert is a man-made problem,” said Elton Custis, a member of the Camden City School District Advisory Board. “We can change the disaster and fix the food desert but first we must change who’s running City Hall. That’s why I’m running.”
