Dawn of a
NEW
ERA
ERIC JACKSON, 55, WAS ELECTED THE 55TH MAYOR OF TRENTON ON
JUNE 10 IN A RUNOFF ELECTION TO FILL THE OFFICE VACATED BY TONY
MACK IN THE AFTERMATH OF AN EMBARRASSING AND DAMAGING
CORRUPTION SCANDAL. THE FORMER MAYOR LEFT BEHIND A LEGACY OF
CIVIC BETRAYAL THAT JACKSON AND HIS TEAM ARE NOW TASKED WITH
REPAIRING. HANGING IN THE BALANCE IS THE FUTURE OF A PROUD CAPITAL
AND A CITY POISED TO RECLAIM ITS ENERGY, ITS ECONOMY,
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, ITS PRIDE.
MIDJERSEY BUSINESS SAT DOWN WITH MAYOR JACKSON FOR AN
EXCLUSIVE Q&A, IN WHICH HE DISCUSSED THE FIERCE CHALLENGES
AHEAD, HIS TOP PRIORITIES, AND HIS VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF TRENTON.
