When the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce hosted a ReNew Jersey Business Summit & Expo in Atlantic City in April, more than 600 business and political leaders came together to discuss ways to revitalize New Jersey’s economy.
The summit came at an opportune time, because, right now, New Jersey is staring at an $11 billion revenue windfall, thanks to the $3 billion in unspent American Rescue Plan money combined with the state Treasury’s announcement that tax revenue over the next 14 months is projected to be nearly $8 billion more than originally projected.

On Monday, the State Department of Treasury and the Office of Legislative Services each forecast a revenue windfall for New Jersey in testimony before the state Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee.
If their estimates are borne out, New Jersey’s coffers will see almost $7 billion more in revenue than was projected by the Murphy administration in March for fiscal years 2022 and 2023. This windfall is bolstered by increased economic activity in the state since the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions were eased.
This revenue windfall is in addition to the reported $3 billion still available to New Jersey in American Rescue Plan funding.

Last week, President Joe Biden signed into law the landmark infrastructure legislation that is scheduled to send about $13 billion to New Jersey to help fix and upgrade our roads, bridges, mass transit, sewer and water piping and high-speed internet networks.
This infusion of money will go a long way toward kick-starting New Jersey’s economy.
Now, with the Legislature back in session, it is time for our state leaders to double down on Congress’ infrastructure investment in New Jersey by releasing a substantial portion of the reported $4 billion remaining in the American Rescue Plan relief fund to help our many struggling businesses get back on their feet.
The Event, Hosted by the N.J. Chamber and the African American Chamber of N.J., Was a ‘Call to Action’ Featuring Leaders Who Can Make ‘Transformational Change.’

The passage by Congress of the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is great news for our state and is the jump-start New Jersey needs to begin a robust economic recovery.
This legislation allocates more than $12 billion of investment in New Jersey’s roads, bridges, public transportation, water and sewer piping, and high-speed internet networks.
The investment will generate thousands of good paying jobs and help upgrade our infrastructure, the foundation of New Jersey’s economy.
The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce thanks our state’s congressional delegation, all of whom voted 'yes' on the infrastructure legislation. The N.J. Chamber wishes to especially acknowledge Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-5), who played an instrumental role in getting this momentous bill through a contentious Congress and over the finish line.
