The funding will be used to renovate and expand a facility that will house a new electric and hybrid vehicle technician training program.
“This funding is an investment in the future for our students, their careers, and the future of clean, eco-friendly transportation,” said Commissioner Jeffrey Nash. “On behalf of the Board of Commissioners, we are grateful for Congressman Norcross’ advocacy and support that has ensured Camden County College will be on the forefront of automotive innovation in our region for years to come turning out the best mechanics with right skillsets for 21st century vehicles.”
With New Jersey projected to welcome over $2 million electric vehicles to our roadways by 2035, this funding will help ensure Camden County College has an adequate space to accommodate the expansion of the electric vehicle training program and meet OSHA safety requirements.

The Zoo is challenging Philadelphia and the world to join them in making a difference for animals, humans and habitats
Philadelphia, PA – To celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary and bring together its community, Philadelphia Zoo is issuing a challenge to help it complete 250,000 Actions for Animals before the end of 2026. This campaign will not just save animals, but create a cleaner and greener space for the humans that call Philadelphia and beyond home. Part of the Zoo’s mission is to share its passion for conservation to save wildlife, and this challenge is designed to get people thinking differently about the ways they can thrive alongside the natural world. Actions for Animals include activities like cleaning up litter, planting native plants, participating in wildlife surveys, and much more, including opportunities to partner with the Zoo on projects around its 42-acre campus. This challenge is a part of the hundreds of events celebrating America’s 250th anniversary in Philadelphia throughout 2026.
“As an American first, Philadelphia Zoo is proud to be a strong leader and dedicated advocate for protecting animals, people and habitats,” said President & CEO Dr. Jo-Elle Mogerman. “While Philly will host a multitude of events and celebrations in 2026, we also want this year to be remembered as how we all came together to make differences for wildlife helping to ensure our own future. Philadelphia Zoo is a place where animals thrive and transformative memories are made. We can’t wait to see how the actions we can all take in 2026 make a better future where wildlife and people thrive together.”

Taz Cantey scored a team-high 24 points and spearheaded a second-half rally, but Rowan’s comeback fell short to TCNJ, 80-77, in an NJAC men’s basketball game that went down to the wire. The loss snaps the Profs five-game winning streak and drops them to 9-7 in conference play, and 9-14 overall.
Cantey scored 20 points in the second half alone and C.J. Hayes hit four three-pointers and scored 18 points on 6-for-8 shooting. Khalil Baker added 14 points and seven rebounds for the Profs.
Rowan took its first lead of the game with 1:51 remaining when Hayes capped off a 6-0 spurt with a layup to give the Profs a 73-72 advantage. The teams traded leads over that final two minutes, mostly on free throws, and Rowan ended up with three chances in the final 15 seconds.
