The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce today announced that Gov. Mikie Sherrill will deliver a keynote address on March 31 at the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce ReNew Jersey Business Summit & Expo, taking place at Harrah’s Atlantic City.
The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce today announced that Scott Kirby, Chief Executive Officer of United Airlines, will participate in a featured fireside chat on Tuesday, March 31, during the upcoming ReNew Jersey Business Summit & Expo at Harrah’s Atlantic City.
Kirby will sit down for a one-on-one interview with Tom Bergeron, Founder & Editor of BINJE, to discuss the state of the economy, the outlook for the aviation industry, and United Airlines’ long-term commitment to New Jersey. The conversation will highlight United’s investments in the Garden State, job creation efforts, and the company’s role in supporting New Jersey’s business community.
The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce appreciates the Sherrill Administration’s openness, transparency, and straightforward approach in communicating today about the state’s fiscal challenges as the governor’s new team prepares its inaugural state budget. We also appreciate the clear acknowledgment that addressing this situation will require difficult but necessary decisions, including cutting expenses.
I want to commend the leadership of Gov. Mikie Sherrill and her administration for their outstanding response to this historic storm. The speed and coordination with which major New Jersey thoroughfares and local roadways were cleared is truly impressive. Within just 24 hours, most roads were reopened, allowing commuters to return to work and businesses to resume operations with minimal disruption.
The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce is closely monitoring today’s decision by the Supreme Court of the United States to strike down a significant portion of President Donald Trump’s global tariff program.
At this early stage, it is too soon to determine the full economic impact of this ruling, particularly for New Jersey’s diverse and globally connected business community. The tariffs had been generating revenue for the federal government, while also increasing costs in certain sectors — costs that, in some cases, were passed along to businesses and consumers.
The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce applauds Gov. Mikie Sherrill, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, and the FIFA World Cup 26 New York New Jersey Host Committee for pivoting in a thoughtful and strategic new direction regarding fan experiences surrounding the upcoming World Cup.
Less than a month into Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s administration, there is already a palpable sense of optimism across New Jersey’s business community. Early outreach from the governor, Lt. Gov. Dale Caldwell, and key members of the administration has been positive, robust, and refreshingly open – signaling what many of us have hoped for: a true partnership between state leadership and the employer community.
Gov. Sherrill inherited an extraordinarily complex set of challenges – from fiscal pressures and infrastructure needs to workforce shortages and competitiveness concerns. At the same time, she has had to assemble an entirely new leadership team. That is no small undertaking. The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce truly appreciates the magnitude of these responsibilities, and we are encouraged by the talented staff being put in place to help guide our state forward.
The Trump Administration must immediately restore funding for the Gateway Tunnel project. Gateway is essential to our region’s economy and to the millions of commuters who depend on reliable rail service every day. This project is already supporting nearly 1,000 construction jobs and will ultimately create tens of thousands more while generating billions in economic activity. Halting work now puts hardworking families out of work, wastes over $1 billion already invested, and risks higher costs and long delays. Gateway is on time, under budget, and delivering real results. New Jersey’s business community will not accept this setback. Withholding these funds is unlawful, and the Administration must act now to restore funding and keep this critical project moving.
