A
The
housing
market,
as
everybody
knows,
has
been
a
challenge
in
last
eight
years,
but
offers
a
lot
of
opportunities.
We
also
have
one
of
the
greatest
affordability
indexes
in
the
entire
country.
Well,
certainly
we're
all
known
for
our
seashore
vacation
properties
on
the
barrier
islands
stretching
from
Atlantic
County
went
down
to
Cape
May.
We
have
our
bedroom
communities
in
Atlantic,
County
offshore
communities
as
a
better
known,
and
they
have
a
wide
range
of
housing
opportunities
from
starter
homes
through
senior
citizen
housing.
Quite
a
few
luxury
developments
throughout
the
county.
B
The
number-one
objective
of
the
Stockton
aviation
research
and
Technology
Park
is
job
creation.
We
are
looking
at
bringing
in
academia
and
small
business
and
creating
collaborations
and
technology
transfer
in
aviation
technologies
in
order
to
promote
job
growth.
The
role
of
the
Stockton
Park
is
to
create
a
collaborative
environment,
to
promote
collaboration
between
academia,
industry
and
government
in
the
advancement
of
aviation
science
and
technologies.
It
is
located
adjacent
to
the
William
J
Hughes
Technical
Center.
The
park
will
offer
several
important
features
that
are
not
available
to
the
local
economy.
B
C
Spent
over
a
year
studying,
Atlanta
County
I
can
confidently
say
that
Atlanta
County
offers
many
opportunities
for
businesses,
first
and
foremost,
a
very
high
quality
of
life.
Secondly,
a
can-do
attitude;
third,
a
very
supportive
political
and
business
community
for
economic
development.
Lastly,
there
is
an
opportunity
to
diversify
the
economy
and
therefore
any
company
here
it
can
be
the
big
fish
in
a
small
pot
and
finally
competitive
costs.
As
far
as
the
East
Coast
economic
development
region
is
concerned,
we've
identified
several
targeted
industries
of
which
are
definitely
avionics
and
aerospace.
D
Intelligent
is
a
specialty
pharmaceutical
manufacturer
and
we
make
a
lot
of
different
drugs
here,
primarily
in
the
dermatology
and
topical
pain
space.
Both
local
and
county
government
have
been
so
supportive
of
our
business
and
our
efforts.
You
know
you,
you
always
think
about
going
through
these
processes.
You
know
what
what
what
the
bureaucracy
it
might
be
like
what
regulation
might
be
like
and,
of
course,
we
have
to
fulfill
all
of
our
responsibilities
and
our
duties
to
our
community.
D
But
what
I've
also
found
is
is
an
atmosphere,
that's
incredibly
supportive
for
businesses
like
ours
that
are
trying
to
grow
because
of
all
the
drugs
that
we've
filed
and
and
the
things
that
are
currently
pending
with
the
FDA.
We
have
to
be
able
to
grow
the
manufacturing
footprint
and
grow
this
site.
