Newark Forward! Why your business should be in Newark?

The City of Newark, African-American Chamber of Commerce for PA, NJ, & DE, and Invest Newark are inviting prospective businesses to come and see how Newark is forging forward to becoming one of the top destinations for businesses to relocate and grow. Perfectly located in the heart of the tri-state area, Newark is New Jersey?s largest city, located less than ten miles from New York City. Being a substantial transportation hub, Newark connects people through NJ TRANSIT rail, light rail and bus service, PATH rapid transit service, and Amtrak regional rail service, all of which join at Newark?s renowned Pennsylvania Station. Additionally, the city is home to one of the country?s busiest airports, Newark Liberty International Airport, serving the New York metropolitan region.

Newark is the largest center of employment within the North Jersey region and state, and contains a variety of flourishing industries, including healthcare, education, financial institutions, and port-related functions. In addition to its proximity to the global market of New York City, Newark is a City of the arts and an educational and cultural epicenter. Higher education institutions such as Rutgers University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Essex County College, and Seton Hall are strategically located in Newark. As Newark?s population continues to grow, cultural havens have emerged and created the perfect melting pot of diversity, most notably the ?Ironbound?, known for its Brazilian and Portuguese specialties. Newark is a renaissance in its own class with so much to offer.

Join us on October 12, at New Jersey Institute of Technology; New Jersey?s public polytechnic university for a showcase of the best Newark has to offer. This event will highlight the various opportunities and incentives that the City of Newark, the State of New Jersey and our institutions have to offer to businesses looking to relocate, grow and call Newark home. Come learn why our businesses are in Newark and Proud of It!
