Singer’s “New Jersey Economic Development Day” Signed Into Law

Legislation Inspired by Local Orthodox Jewish Chamber Of Commerce

Senator Robert Singer’s resolution to name the second Monday of May as “New Jersey Economic Development Day” was signed into law.

“The designation of a statewide ‘Economic Development Day’ honors and inspires our youth to create, build, and dream of a better New Jersey,” Senator Singer (R-30) said. “The Garden State is blessed with a well-educated workforce, an ideal location, easy-to-access public transportation, and great public schools. That is why our economy will continue to grow and thrive.”

Sen. Singer’s joint resolution, SJR-72, aims to encourage and promote New Jersey state and local economic development programs.

The resolution requests that the Governor annually call upon elected officials, business owners, and the citizens of New Jersey to discuss job creation, fiscal resiliency, and how to best enhance business development plans.

Duvi Honig, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Orthodox Jewish Chamber Of Commerce, championed the effort.

“New Jersey is blessed with strong human capital, a prime location, robust transportation infrastructure, and the best public schools in the county,” Singer added. “Still, more can be done to increase New Jersey’s economic competitiveness. I am proud to work with Duvi Honig and the Orthodox Jewish Chamber Of Commerce to help enhance New Jersey’s business development efforts. Boosting business and economic growth through ‘New Jersey Economic Development Day’ will show the world that the Garden State is open and ready for business.”
