The program is Verizon's Region of Choice initiative, and the money will go for things like A/V and CD presentations, Web site improvements and other marketing materials and efforts. The CEGC, headed by state commerce secretary Bill Whatley, is the state's frontline agency for economic development.
"The Region of Choice initiative is a public-private partnership that will market our economy," according to Gov. James McGreevey. "It will help us spread the word about New Jersey as a location for business."
"By participating in this program, we will be able to maximize our efforts to create jobs and encourage investment," according to Whatley.
