“We applaud Governor Murphy and his Administration for two of their most recent announcements; the first initiative will provide $100 million dollars in grants to New Jersey's small businesses whom desperately need help in these difficult times; the second initiative, will provide access to thousands of career opportunities with many of our employers throughout the state,” said John E. Harmon, Sr., IOM, Founder, President & CEO, African American Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey. “Moreover, this same cohort of employers have committed to extend hundreds of millions of dollars in contract opportunities that will target, small, women and minority owned New Jersey based businesses. It is through these types of initiatives that we can bolster the confidence and faith of a multitude of businesses that want the opportunity to participate, compete, and extend their value proposition while contributing to a more competitive New Jersey. This collective village approach, of engaging both the public and private sectors to bring more New Jersey residents and businesses into the economy, is reflective of a Stronger and Fairer New Jersey.” |
