New Jersey Governor Launches Initiative to Improve Business Climate
What happened
On November 10, 2026, Mikie Sherrill signed Executive Order No. 28, launching an economic initiative called “New Jersey Means Business.” This 24-page directive aims to improve the business climate, retain employers, and reduce the cost of doing business in New Jersey. The order establishes a New Jersey Means Business Economic Development Council to oversee recommendations. Officials are tasked with proposing ways to reduce business costs, including changes to taxes, fees, or licensing requirements, within 90 days.

Why it matters
The initiative is designed to address the high cost and regulatory environment in New Jersey by streamlining the permitting process and reducing business expenses. The council will produce recommendations on these cost reductions, although the order itself does not currently cut taxes, eliminate specific regulations, or reduce government fees.
