Proposed legislation would designate four counties as the ‘Central Jersey’ region
Does Central Jersey exist? The age-old debate may finally be put to rest under proposed legislation that would officially mark Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex and Somerset counties as the "Central Jersey" region on a redrawn tourism map. The bill would also update how New Jersey allocates its tourism funding. Sen. Andrew Zwicker (D-Middlesex) is the primary sponsor of the bill.
