New Jersey Regional Center is responsible for the oversight of projects located within the state of New Jersey. Jersey City rests on the Hudson River, giving residents and visitors nearly immediate access to Manhattan’s business, shopping and entertainment. Known as Manhattan’s Back Garden, Jersey City offers sweeping views of the New York City skyline and convenience to landmarks such as the Empire State Building, Central Park and Rockefeller Center. Also noted for its burgeoning city life and distinct culture, Jersey City has become a hotspot for young professionals who prefer an intimate setting just outside the bustle of New York City.
