t a time when companies are seeking to operate even more efficiently, Bergen County has launched www.bergenforbusiness.com to assist corporate and independent site selectors and others looking for space,” Bergen County Executive James J. Tedesco, III recently announced. “Site selection professionals and others can use www. bergenforbusiness.com as a way to easily examine best-place choices for corporate real estate and other facilities from the convenience of their keyboards. Companies and individuals can now connect with Bergen County more quickly than ever, thanks to this free-to-list and free-to-access, user-friendly onestop site selection website that was recently launched by the Bergen County Division of Economic Development.”
“Acquiring this kind of critical demographic information used to be a long and expensive process,” said Freeholder Chairman Tom Sullivan. “It was often a prohibitive barrier and kept new small businesses from gaining entry to a community or growing an existing business. I believe the site will be a useful tool in helping new businesses get off the ground, and assist existing businesses to expand to meet market demand.”
For larger businesses, www. bergenforbusiness.com sets Bergen County apart from other counties in the state, the region, and the country, he adds. “It helps cement Bergen County’s position at the forefront of creating a real partnership between the public and private sectors.
