Together the three coun- ties cover about 1,350 square miles in which over 1.25 mil- lion people live and almost one-half million people work. Burlington, Camden and Gloucester Counties offer a diverse mix of communities in which to live and work. The offerings range from classic towns and villages and small historic cities to new communities in subur- ban settings to rural living with farmland, woodlands and open space. Recreation- al and cultural opportunities abound within the tri-county region. Playing-fields for or-
ganized sports or just a pick- up game exist throughout region. There are numerous opportunities to hike in the many local, county and state parks, as well as bicycle from town to town and through the rural areas. Boating, canoeing or kayaking occurs on many of the rivers and streams that flow through the region. The New Jersey shore is only an hour away. Theatre, museums, the arts and other cultural activities are an easy drive or train ride into Philadelphia. Mobility options within the region are excellent. In Camden County many classic towns and communities are served by the PATCO High Speed Line that provides passenger rail service to Philadelphia. The Atlantic City Line that originates in Philadelphia has several stops in Camden County. Historic cities and classic towns in Burlington County are served by the RiverLINE light rail passenger train that ends in Trenton City in the north and Camden City in the south. The northern RiverLINE terminus pro- vides passenger rail access to the Northeast Amtrak Corridor connecting with New York City and ending in Boston andWashington, D.C. The southern RiverLINE ter- minus connects to PATCO. A new intermodal train station, which will provide transfers from the RiverLINE to the Atlantic City Line, is under construction in Pennsauken, Camden County. Gloucester County is in the planning stages to provide passenger rail service to connect its communities with Camden City and Philadelphia. This new service will further en- hance regional mobility. With about 30,000 nonfarm business establishments in Burlington, Camden and Gloucester Counties the re- gion draws upon a highly skilled, well-educated labor force. Businesses are quite diverse ranging from the very large internationals to the small entrepreneurial start- ups within the tri-county re- gion.
