The announcement was made by Richard Rush of Woodbridge Plaza LLC, the owner, and Robert Carson, Levin's vice president of operations."

"We are very pleased to have brought in Levin as manager for Delco Plaza," Rush stated.

"The Levin Management team has an excellent reputation throughout New Jersey for the way it manages retail venues like ours."
