“The new Executive Director will play a vital role in achieving our collective goals in driving sustainable economic development and business growth across Jersey City,” Mayor Steven Fulop said in a statement.
“The JCEDC is an essential resource for the success of Jersey City businesses, and we encourage residents to take full advantage of everything it offers.”
Qualified candidates are encouraged to submit a cover letter and resume to jcedcsecretary@gmail.com.
This leadership position was created following the adoption of the corporation’s comprehensive five-year economic development plan, as approved by the JCEDC board and city council.
The new executive director will oversee the development, approval, and implementation of the JCEDC strategic plan. The full job posting can be read here.
“We’ve reached a pivotal moment in our organization’s trajectory. With many of our critical milestones achieved, the timing is now right to bring in a dedicated Executive Director to guide the organization into its next chapter of growth,” added JCEDC Chair Rosemary McFadden.
With UEZ funding in place, the organization is primed for the next phase of economic initiatives.
This latest step forward will further expand the EDC’s services and outreach into the community to maximize opportunities for all Jersey City residents and business owners.
In 2024, the JCEDC moved into its permanent office location on Martin Luther King Drive as part of the City Hall Annex.
Additionally, the offices now include a new small business incubator and coworking space to help entrepreneurs and small business owners to expand their reach, access new opportunities, and collaborate in ways that were not accessible before.
Wait a minute, I thought it was legally settled long time ago that public entities cannot use private emails and servers for official communications. Which is done to avoid FOIA and here also ORPA. Just ask Hillary.
