FLORHAM PARK, NJ—There are a wide range of reasons for companies to choose to locate in New Jersey, according to Timothy Lizura, president & chief operating officer, New Jersey Economic Development Authority.

“The State offers a highly educated and skilled workforce, an ideal location in terms of travel and proximity to customers, and logistical advantages such as access to major ports, highways, and rail lines,” says Lizura, who will be delivering the opening keynote address at this year’s RealShare New Jersey Conference. “Starting with the Urban Transit Hub program, we have incented companies and developers to invest near transit centers in areas like Newark, Jersey City, and New Brunswick. As today’s workforce gravitates toward accessible, amenity-rich communities, we continue to encourage development in those areas through programs administered under the Economic Opportunity Act.”
