Rush Holt to Address Area Business Leaders

Business leaders can be informed on the latest crucial economic developments from Washington and how these initiatives will positively impact local businesses here in the area during a breakfast with Congressman Rush Holt on October 17. 

“It's always a privilege to speak with business leaders in the Princeton Trenton region, which has one of the most active, engaged, innovative business communities in central New Jersey.  More so than most towns, locals in the Princeton Trenton region rely upon wise federal policy -- especially in the areas of research and development -- to support job and business growth,” said Rep. Holt. “I look forward to hearing the thoughts of the business community and to sharing news from Congress.”

He will discuss ideas regarding small business job creation, initiatives designed to help job growth in the Princeton Trenton Region, and transportation plans for the region at the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce’s event in association with Trenton Small Business week activities at the new Education Building at the College of New Jersey in Ewing.

Healthcare, health policies and the impact of new federal guidelines will also be touched upon by the veteran Congressman from the 12^th district.
