  The Southern New Jersey Development Council (SNJDC) will host the 13th Annual Construction Forecast and Exhibits, presented by New Jersey Smart Start Buildings, on June 10, 2009 at the DoubleTree Guest Suites in Mt. Laurel, NJ. The event, designed to   provide attendees advance information on construction activity in South Jersey, begins at 8:30 a.m. with a welcome address from Senator James Beach (D), 6th District. The theme for this year’s Construction Forecast is “Get Building Today”. A panel including CEO Kris Kolluri, NJSDA, Chief of Staff Edward McBride Jr, Office of the Governor, Assistant Commissioner Robert Miller, NJDOT and Commissioner Nicholas Asselta, BPU will highlight how each department will allocate its state and American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds in order to push development in our state.
  Each county in South Jersey will send a representative to give a report on upcoming projects still not out to bid. Construction Forecast is a kinetic event producing up-to-the-minute information for strategic and tactical planning. 
  Advance tickets are $90 for members and $125 for non-members. For more information, or to register, contact the SNJDC at (856) 228-7500 or visit our website www.snjdc.org.

  •    The mission of the Next Generation Aviation Research Park (ARTP) is to promote sustained economic growth and job creation throughout New Jersey and the nation by implementing and operating a cooperative, state-of-the-art aviation Research Park that will support the evolution of the Next Generation aviation environment.
       At full build out, the Park will include seven multi-story buildings with a total of over 400,000 square feet of laboratory and research space located on the campus of the FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center which is the nation’s leading air transportation Federal Facility.

  •   January is not a big month for “don’t miss” events, But it is home to one of, if not “the,” premier events of the year—the State Chamber’s annual “Walk to Washington.”
      The tradition began in 1937 when several of the state's top business executives took a train to Washington to have dinner with New Jersey's congressional delegation. The rest is history. The Walk to Washington obtained its name when participants realized that few sit on the train; they literally walk the train mingling and exchanging business cards the whole way to Washington.
