PLAINSBORO — Gov. Chris Christie told some of the state’s most powerful corporate leaders and lobbyists Wednesday night that New Jersey is becoming a better place to do business.
Christie was at the Westin Princeton at Forrestal Village to deliver a speech to approximately 500 business CEO’s and state lawmakers at the New Jersey Business & Industry Association’s State Dinner.
The organization has 22,000 members, making it the nation’s largest state-level employer association.
Christie highlighted his efforts to improve the state’s business climate since he took office last year. He said he’s followed through on promises to cut governmental red tape, veto proposed tax increases and reduce the tax burden on businesses.
