Authorizes establishment of regional economic development partnerships.

S 2099 allows counties, municipalities, and economic development groups to form regional partnerships for joint economic planning and development. These partnerships can attract new businesses, support existing ones, redevelop areas, and share project costs. They may access loans, issue bonds (following local bond laws), and use state economic development resources, with all agreements requiring approval from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority or Local Finance Board. The bill directly affects local governments and businesses collaborating on regional economic strategies.
