Hammonton’s entrepreneurial spirit is alive in the hearts and
minds of the hundreds of local business owners who have literally
“set up shop” in the town. Business in Hammonton encompasses the
entire range of manufacturing, service, retail, professional, and
agricultural interests. Once the center for thriving textile and
pharmaceutical plants, the business community adapted and changed
in the 1980s and 1990s, transitioning to a more service-based
economy while retaining agricultural and manufacturing interests.
The town is a major distribution hub, with Kramer Beverage stating
publicly that it selected the community for its major facility
because of its access to all of southern New Jersey and the
Mid-Atlantic region.
Access to employment is readily available, both inside the
community and in the region. Hammonton’s location, 30 minutes from
Philadelphia and Atlantic City, makes commuting to work easy.
There is also a New Jersey Transit rail station, exchange ramps
(North and South) for the Atlantic City Expressway, and New Jersey
Transit bus stops to serve commuters.
The Greater Hammonton Chamber of Commerce and Main Street
Hammonton work tirelessly to support the business community of the
town. Their offices are centrally located in the downtown Historic
Hammonton Train Station, at the corner of Egg Harbor Road (Route
561) and Bellevue Avenue (Route 54). |
