NJ's Norcross has a new HQ

George E. Norcross III, chairman of $1 billion (yearly sales) insurance brokerage Conner Strong Cos. Inc., chairman of Cooper University Hospital and architect of its recent expansion, and premier Democratic Party leader and fundraiser in South Jersey, has moved his firm's headquarters and 130 Conner Strong workers to 40 Lake Center Executive Park, a four-story, 55,000-square-foot trapezoid on NJ 73 in Marlton.

The building was formerly the local office of subprime mortgage lender IndyMac Bank before the government took it over last year. Norcross told me he sublet the space, vacating his old office at 1006 Astoria Blvd in Cherry Hill. Conner Strong employs another 60 in Philadelphia, and 100 in North Jersey.

    I thought this was going to mention where his new HQ should be - the State Pen. Someday, maybe someday, the State A/G might finally check into his slush funding at Commerce Bank and all of the possible fraud connections that result from his kingdom. After all, we've been living in Norcross County for a long, long time and fealty must be paid....one way or another....

    yeah, I didn't like the dude much when I met him. I think I'll vote republican....just have to get past the conservative garbage first.

    So why does the Camden County machine boss move his company to Burlington County?

    Norcross has lost a lot of Democratic support. Now that people are aware of this guy and the people he employs to hurt other is a sick game. A lot of what he does could land him in jail. He may have crossed the line too far this time. This man needs some MAJOR exposure. He has a lot of enemies
