Requires development of manufacturing business attraction, expansion, and retention marketing plan for areas located in certain counties within southern New Jersey.

This bill requires New Jersey's Secretary of State to create and implement a marketing plan within one year for manufacturing businesses in Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, and Salem counties (defined as "Southern New Jersey"). The plan must include strategies to attract new manufacturing businesses, retain existing ones, and encourage expansion, with the goal of growing jobs and capital investment in the region. The Secretary must update the plan every five years and can request assistance from state agencies like the Economic Development Authority, Labor Department, and Transportation Department to develop workforce strategies, funding programs, and transportation infrastructure. The plan directly affects manufacturers and economic development efforts in these four southern New Jersey counties.
