Christie announces new state plan that focuses on business and job creation
Gov. Chris Christie Wednesday announced the creation of a “State Strategic Job Growth Plan,” an effort he describes as an ambitious, flexible guide for the future of New Jersey’s economic development.
The governor said he expects the plan to become the state’s official statewide planning tool and replace the current state plan created 2001. The plan also will attempt to coordinate the action of government agencies to help bring economic development about.
“New Jersey’s challenges are too great to be approached in the stratified, haphazard and unrealistic manner that has characterized previous statewide planning efforts,” Christie said. (Hester, New Jersey Newsroom)
