The city of Camden and a major nonprofit group working on revitalization efforts have been hit with a flurry of subpoenas in recent weeks in what appears to be part of a corruption investigation into lucrative development deals involving millions in tax incentives, according to four sources with knowledge of the inquiry.
The specific focus of the investigation was unclear and officials declined comment. But NJ Advance Media learned many of the records sought by the subpoenas are related to companies, individuals and transactions that have been publicly tied to South Jersey Democratic powerbroker George E. Norcross III, who wields great influence in Camden.
