Business curfew law in camden up for council vote

A major change in the late night plans for some Camden residents could be coming, as city council members are expected to vote soon on a curfew law that would shut down the city’s businesses as early as 11 p.m.

A vote on the curfew law could happen as early as Tuesday.

On weekdays, every business, from restaurants to fast-food spots would have to close up shop at 11 p.m. until 6 a.m. while on the weekends, businesses would be allowed to remain open until midnight.

Camden Mayor Dana Redd says a curfew law would serve as another tool to make the city safer.  According to Mayor Redd, some residents have spoken out in favor of a curfew for many years.
