Requires State agencies to vacate certain property in Trenton; allows EDA to offer incentives to private entities to locate to that property.
This bill requires state departments and agencies currently occupying offices at Riverview Plaza in Trenton to relocate to other suitable locations within the city. To facilitate this move, the legislation mandates that these agencies terminate their leases and actively cooperate with landlords to fill the resulting vacant spaces with new tenants as quickly as possible. Additionally, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority is tasked with attracting private businesses to the vacated property by offering priority consideration for state business assistance programs and providing enhanced financial incentives. The bill also authorizes the Economic Development Authority to coordinate with various other state agencies to secure necessary resources for workforce development, transportation improvements, and housing expansion to support the redevelopment of the area.
