Jackson, NJ – After a five-year hiatus, the Jackson Township Economic Development Council has reconvened to address the future of the township’s business and commercial sectors. The council has laid out a plan to rejuvenate Jackson’s business environment, which the COVID-19 pandemic and recent economic challenges have heavily impacted.
Councilwoman Kuhn underscored the council’s three-tiered strategy to invigorate the local economy. This approach includes providing vital information to local businesses, offering incentives, and promoting Jackson Township as a prime location for business operations. The strategy focuses on aiding businesses in securing grants from the Small Business Administration and assistance in obtaining PPP loans for expansion and growth.
To attract new businesses, the township plans to promote itself as a business-friendly destination, especially targeting areas approved for commercial development that remain vacant, like the County Line corridor. Councilwoman Kuhn, in collaboration with Mayor Reina, expressed a strong commitment to making Jackson Township a desirable location for businesses, enhancing the local economy and providing residents with more options for shopping, dining, and entertainment.
Councilman Mordechai Burnstein highlighted the inconvenience residents face who travel to nearby towns for basic services. He emphasized the council’s objective to attract essential businesses to Jackson, thereby increasing the township’s commercial ratables and revitalizing the local economy. The Economic Development Committee, composed of diverse members, including Council President Kuhn, Councilman Burnstein, and other community leaders, is determined to propel Jackson Township forward.
