URGENT!!


Holy Angels Parish overseen by the Diocese of Camden will yet again attempt to apply for demolition for the historic Green Castle Hotel located at 85 Cooper Street in Woodbury, NJ. Your help is needed! The last thing Woodbury needs is more surface parking!

You will have an opportunity to speak out against this intended action in person at the following times:

Holy Angels Parish will appear before the City of Woodbury's Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) on 8/13/2014 at 7pm.

HPC's decision is then turned over to the joint Planning/Zoning Board which will meet on: 8/20/2014 at 7pm.

Please also consider sending polite but firm emails to the City of Woodbury Mayor and Council stating that you are against demolition:

Mayor: Bill Volk

(856) 845-1300 ext. 137

I met my wife at the Green Hotel in 1979. Of course, it wasn't a hotel at that point but apartments. Her father owned the newstand on the first floor and that is where I met her 35 years ago. I grew up on Aberdeen Place and my stomping grounds were from Broad St. to the lake and Cooper to Barber. Chris Spangler
