The newly formed Associated Construction Contractors of New Jersey (ACCNJ), Edison, the state chapter of the Associated General Contractors (AGC) of America, plans to tackle about six legislative initiatives in the next year that will help create jobs and funding streams for industry, says Jack Kocsis, Jr., CEO. He declined to identify those initiatives but says they are among several others aimed at helping to grow New Jersey's economy.
ACCNJ, formed July 1 by the merger of AGC's Associated General Contractors of New Jersey and its sister group, the Building Contractors Association of New Jersey, has 315 contractor firm members. They represent the building, heavy, highway and utility segments of the industry. ACCNJ says it is the only organization in the state that represents both commercial and public construction contractors.
