Owners Council Q&A: Jack Morris

I’ll always be bullish on New Jersey. As with any market, we may need to endure some ups and downs, but our state’s fundamentals give us a high floor and a very high ceiling. Qualities like access to New York City, a highly trained workforce, great medical facilities and care, an array of recreational assets and municipalities that are attractive to families give New Jersey long-term appeal. Also, citizens value safety and security, and I want to give kudos to the incredible law enforcement professionals who serve our communities in New Jersey each and every day.
