CLEMENTON, N.J. (CBS) -- Work is underway to revive a long-vacant shopping center site in Clementon, NJ.

The Grants department store and Acme supermarket have long since left the 30-acre site, along the White Horse Pike.

"This property has been vacant now for about three decades," notes Camden County freeholder-director Lou Cappelli, who says plans call for 205 townhouses and some commercial properties on the site.
