CITY OF BAYONNE

Welcome to the Hudson County Economic Development Corporation and our information series for business.

The Municipal Contacts guide provides you with a directory of key individuals and departments in each municipality that can direct you to the specific resources you need to advance a development project, start or grow your business. Our guide is supplemented by additional information on our website, including, a direct URL link to each municipal web site. For a direct municipal URL link, go to: https://www.hudsonedc.org/site-location-services-interactive-map-popups/

In addition to municipal contacts, here is a link to the State of Business Action Center Portal: https://www.nj.gov/state/bac.shtml

The Portal is designed to provide round the clock information to support your business needs. Housed within the NJ Department of State the New Jersey Business Action Center (BAC) is your "one-stop-shop" for doing business in New Jersey. The BAC will provide personal guidance to get you the information and resources needed to move your business forward. This professional assistance is provided at no cost to you.

This guide is a part of the HCEDCs information series, including: Major Employer’s List, Urban Enterprise Zone Programs, Municipal Contacts, and Hudson Facts.
