Monmouth County Chamber of Commerce

Business Resources

The Eastern Monmouth Area of New Jersey is alive with job opportunities from advanced technology to retail and everything in between. Jobs are at the foundation of a strong quality of life for any area. This regions' development is aptly assisted by the support of both the Monmouth County Department of Economic Development and Tourism and the Eastern Monmouth Area Chamber of Commerce.

Through their website, VisitMonmouth.com, the Monmouth County Department of Economic Development and Tourism offers a one-stop center for individuals and companies to know about detailed statistical information on each town, proximity to markets, labor qualifications and financial assistance. Other resources including financing, business start up counseling, licensing and employment training abound and are easily accessed via the internet.

The Eastern Monmouth Area Chamber of Commerce has served the business community without interruption since 1928 through interactive programs, products and events that provide networking opportunities and new business contacts. EMACC members benefit from low-cost marketing tools, skill-building seminars, qualified business referrals and unparalleled networking. We maintain a small library of business publications available to members. Further sources of information are accessible through the organizations listed here with links to their web sites.
