The Trump Administration must immediately restore funding for the Gateway Tunnel project. Gateway is essential to our region’s economy and to the millions of commuters who depend on reliable rail service every day. This project is already supporting nearly 1,000 construction jobs and will ultimately create tens of thousands more while generating billions in economic activity. Halting work now puts hardworking families out of work, wastes over $1 billion already invested, and risks higher costs and long delays. Gateway is on time, under budget, and delivering real results. New Jersey’s business community will not accept this setback. Withholding these funds is unlawful, and the Administration must act now to restore funding and keep this critical project moving.

Exclusive briefing for Cornerstone NJ members
How’s the national economy? It’s complicated. So said Curtis Dubay, chief economist at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, who delivered an exclusive briefing to New Jersey Chamber of Commerce's Cornerstone members Jan. 29.
The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce strongly supports Executive Order No. 7 signed on Jan. 23 by Gov. Mikie Sherrill. By temporarily pausing the adoption of pending administrative rules and regulations for 90 days, this Executive Order gives the new Administration the opportunity to ensure that regulatory actions reflect the state’s priorities, especially tackling high costs, strengthening our workforce, and fostering an environment where businesses can grow and create jobs.
The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce congratulates Governor Mikie Sherrill and Lieutenant Governor Dale Caldwell on their inauguration and assumption of office. We wish them every success as they begin their service to the people of New Jersey.
New Jersey Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors on Dec. 17 elected two new board members: George Helmy, executive vice president and chief external affairs and policy officer at RWJBarnabas Health; and Nick Maniatis, director of studio & production affairs for North America at Netflix.
The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce mourns the passing of former Gov. Richard J. Codey, a New Jersey icon and one of the most dedicated public servants in our state’s history.
The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce applauds Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill for her decision to reappoint Kris Kolluri to continue leading New Jersey Transit and for entrusting him with the additional responsibility of serving as Executive Director of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority.
At a time when New Jersey’s transportation network is undergoing a critical transformation – and as our state prepares to welcome the world for the 2026 FIFA World Cup – strong, unified leadership is essential. Kris Kolluri’s proven experience, steady hand, and commitment to public service make him uniquely qualified to guide both agencies through this pivotal moment.
We are deeply disappointed by the State Senate’s passage of the family leave extension bill. A-3451 delivers a significant blow to tens of thousands of small businesses that are already struggling in today’s challenging economic environment. At a time when these employers need support, this legislation instead imposes new regulatory and financial burdens.
In what will literally be the last hours of the legislative session, lawmakers in Trenton will be asked to consider legislation that could have a profoundly negative impact on the state.
