CHAMBER EVENT: Reinventing Urban New Jersey

Reinventing Urban New Jersey

After decades of decline, urban areas are once again on the rise. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Hudson County, the most urban county in New Jersey. Join us for a very special forum hosted by the Chamber's Government Affairs Committee in partnership with the Guarini Institute for Government and Leadership at Saint Peter's University.

Our forum will feature a key-note presentation by James Hughes, Distinguished Professor and Dean of the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University, who will provide an overview of the changing demographics that are driving urban growth.

The second half of our forum will feature a panel discussion of public and private sector leaders involved in various aspects of development in Hudson County.

Anyone interested in understanding how these shifting demographic changes will impact the consumer landscape of Hudson County and the NY metro area, as well as their business should attend. What does this growth mean for local business, services and our infrastructure?
