Trenton – Senator Troy Singleton's Statement on Governor Mikie Sherrill's "New Jersey Means Business" Executive Order
"I applaud Governor Sherrill for putting forward a comprehensive economic development strategy that sends a clear message: New Jersey means business. This presents an important opportunity for South Jersey, where our businesses, workers, and communities have a great deal at stake in New Jersey's economic future. This approach by the Governor will allow our region to embark on a new business ERA (Expansion, Retention and Attraction) to heighten economic growth."
"Economic opportunities and challenges are not the same in every corner of our state. For South Jersey, this must be about more than attracting new companies. It must also be about keeping the employers we already have, helping our small businesses grow, revitalizing vacant commercial and industrial properties, and making sure our region receives its fair share of economic investment."
"From Burlington County to Cape May, we must recognize the distinct strengths, economic assets and hardworking people ready to seize new opportunities. Our challenge is to build on those strengths by retaining and attracting businesses, removing unnecessary barriers to growth, and ensuring that South Jersey receives the investment and attention it needs to compete and prosper."
"I look forward to working with the Governor, our regional chambers of commerce, labor organizations, and local economic development partners to ensure that New Jersey's economic growth reaches every corner of our state."
