Governor Jon Corzine assured the 250 businesspeople attending NJBIA’s December 9 Public Policy Forum that he will continue to push for economic relief at the State and federal level to help businesses weather a deepening recession and credit squeeze. To underscore his point, Corzine concluded his appearance by signing a bill providing businesses with $120 million in incentives for job creation (grants of $3,000 for every new employee hired) and business investment (grants equal to 7 percent of the cost of new equipment and capital improvements).
