Cinnaminson, Moorestown Pursuing Shared Services
Moorestown will pay Cinnaminson $20,000 to use its courtroom for the next year—and that may just be the beginning.
Cinnaminson and Moorestown each OKed an agreement Monday that allows Moorestown to use Cinnaminson’s courtroom—which might just be the first of a number of shared services between the neighboring municipalities.
Township committee approved a one-year agreement to allow Moorestown to use its courtroom four times a month. Moorestown will pay Cinnaminson $20,000 for the privilege, which is comparable to Moorestown's previous agreement with Maple Shade.
Moorestown had been using Maple Shade’s courtroom the past several years, but Moorestown Mayor Stacey Jordan said the township's daytime court dates were causing some parking headaches for Maple Shade residents and employees.
