It is a fitting tribute to Caren Franzini that the New Jersey Economic Development Authority
headquarters has been named after her.

For two decades, Caren worked tirelessly as head of the EDA.

She was a stalwart in the area of the state's economic development, and her many
accomplishments made an enormous positive impact on thousands of businesses
and the state's economy.

We were all better for knowing Caren and working with her.

It is appropriate that Caren's legacy in New Jersey will now be etched in stone.
