We anticipate more information about legislative initiatives to come out of upcoming Senate and Assembly sessions Thursday (3/19) and Monday (3/23). At this exchange, a state official will join the discussion to provide an overview of NJ programs, policies, and legislation that have passed or are being considered to provide economic relief to downtowns and small business.
Space is limited, registration is required. (Please note that these sessions are not intended for individual business owner participation, rather they are meant to be an exchange of ideas between those involved with the management of downtown business districts.)
