Overview: The most recent meeting of the Willingboro Town Council covered a range of issues, with the proposal for a new CarMax facility taking center stage. The proposed development, planned for the Route 130 Marketplace, would occupy approximately 29 acres and include 12,000 square feet of improvements. Estimated to cost between $10 to $15 million, the project aims to hire around 26 associates, consisting of seven managers and 19 clerical staff. However, residents during the public comment period voiced concerns over the number of jobs for locals, traffic congestion, security measures, and the appropriateness of the location. In response, CarMax representatives expressed a willingness to work with the township to address these issues, yet the council and residents requested more time for consideration and further discussion.
