Haddon Heights Residents Approve Measure to Lift 120-Year Alcohol Prohibition

On Tuesday, November 5th, voters in Haddon Heights, Camden County, approved a landmark referendum that could lift the town’s 120-year-old prohibition on alcohol sales. With 62% of voters in favor, the measure now clears the path for the town to issue its first liquor licenses, potentially bringing a significant change to the community of approximately 7,400 residents.

The town, which has never formally prohibited alcohol but also never passed an ordinance to allow it, has remained dry for over a century. Although the referendum passed, the town’s council still needs to adopt an ordinance to allow the sale of alcohol. Under New Jersey law, Haddon Heights would be eligible for only two liquor licenses, given its population size of around 7,400, with one license allotted for every 3,000 residents.

Mayor Zachary Houck, a vocal supporter of the change, believes that allowing alcohol sales could help revitalize the town’s business district. “There’s an opportunity to bring a whole new customer base to our downtown,” Houck said, emphasizing the potential benefits to local businesses. Despite his support, Houck noted that the council will respect the community’s wishes, stating, “If it’s a split decision, that’s where we have to make the decision.”

The success of Haddon Heights’ referendum is part of a broader trend in New Jersey, where other towns, such as Rutherford, have recently moved to lift their own alcohol bans. However, some towns, including Ocean City, have reaffirmed their commitment to remaining dry, citing concerns over future developments and maintaining their traditional policies.

As New Jersey’s liquor laws continue to evolve, Haddon Heights stands at a crossroads, with the council’s next steps determining whether the town will embrace this new era for its local economy.
