Join NJBIA and a team of legal experts for an informative online panel discussion on Monday about the major challenges facing New Jersey’s cities, state policy decisions that are driving investment in urban areas and what it all means for the businesses in these communities.

The State of Our Cities,” a free online event, will begin at 11 a.m., July 18 and feature attorneys from the Gibbons law firm who will discuss how environmental laws, aging infrastructure, housing availability, public safety and COVID-19-related challenges are impacting New Jersey’s cities, as well as the policy decisions government leaders have made in response.

The discussion will include information businesses need about the federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), the federal Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act, as well as the various tax incentives, financing and grant programs available under the seven-year, $14 billion New Jersey Economic Recovery Act of 2020. The recently signed FY23 state budget, the New Jersey Environmental Justice Act, and the long-term impacts of remote workforces on businesses headquartered in urban areas will also be discussed.

The panel of experts includes Gibbons attorneys Kevin Walsh, David Pascrell, Christine Stearns, Paul St. Onge, Robert Johnson, Michael DeLoreto and Courtney Johnson.
