Trenton, NJ - Governor Chris Christie: On behalf of the State of New Jersey, I am pleased to address business professionals throughout the Garden State in this issue of the New Jersey Business magazine.
New Jersey’s businesses represent the backbone of our state’s economy, and they serve an instrumental role in promoting the vitality and longevity of our communities. Understanding the importance of businesses to our state, our Administration created the New Jersey Partnership for Action (PFA) to help foster an environment that is beneficial for businesses in the area. The PFA is comprised of the Business Action Center, which provides the business community with a single point of contact; the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, serving as the state’s “bank for business;” Choose New Jersey, an independently funded and operated 501(c)(3) business-attraction and lead-generation organization that markets the state; and the Office of the Secretary of Higher Education, which coordinates with New Jersey’s institutions of higher learning to prepare an educated workforce.
Through these organizations, New Jersey has attracted new businesses and helped existing businesses thrive by focusing on relationship building through person-to-person outreach, promoting the state’s incentives and resources and assisting businesses in navigating state government and programs. In addition, we have reduced administrative red tape, restrictive mandates and prohibitive taxes to make New Jersey’s business climate more favorable.
Best wishes to all for a successful year.
Sincerely,
Chris Christie
Governor
