      Now we’ve turned our attention from “people” to “projects.” Specifically, we’re going county-by-county and looking at the development and redevelopment Projects to Watch, including (when we can) the most important projects completed in the last 12 months,  the most important projects underway, and the most important projects on the drawing board.
      Now it’s Gloucester County’s turn.
