EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Salem County Improvement Authority (SCIA), In conjunction with the County of Salem (the County), has developed this new Economic Development Strategic Plan to serve as a guide or “playbook” in the undertaking of a focused and coordinated program of economic development throughout the County of Salem, New Jersey. This new economic development strategic plan builds upon previous economic development strategic plans and in particular the current plan developed by the SCIA in 2010. In the past four years since the last plan was prepared and adopted by the County and the SCIA, social and economic forces have again shifted, mostly in a positive direction, since the previous plan was developed when the nation and the County were suffering from the economic downturn generally referred to as “The Great Recession”. This new strategic economic development plan focuses on guiding the County’s economic development program to take advantage of an expected rebounding international, national, State and local economy. Salem County has distinct competitive advantages for the certain business and industries based upon its location, affordable land costs, infrastructure and labor force.

    ENVIRONMENTAL MERIT AWARDS 2019 for outstanding efforts in preserving New England’s environment ceremony sept 10 environmental merit awards | 2welcome WELCOME TO THE 2019 ENVIRONMENTAL MERIT AWARDS CEREMONY DEDICATION POSTHUMOUS DOUGLAS M. COSTLE MCLEAN, VIRGINIA Douglas M. Costle was among the driving forces in the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970. After Richard M. Nixon was inaugurated in 1969, Doug was recruited to the White House Advisory Council on Executive Organization where he played a major role in conceptualizing the agency. He was appointed by Presi- dent Jimmy Carter to serve as EPA’s administrator from 1977 to 1981. At his first news conference, Doug noted that “Clean air is not an aesthetic luxury. It is a public health necessity.” Doug advanced the argument, new at the time, that environmental regulation supported eco- nomic development because it preserved resources. Doug served as dean of Vermont Law School from 1987 to 1991. He died this year at his home in McLean, Virginia. environmental merit awards | in service to states Ira W.
