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.
