The City of Trenton’s Division of Economic Development works to create, encourage and enhance job growth and promote business retention and development throughout its borders. The Division supports the business community within City government and partners with organizations and other governmental agencies such as the County of Mercer Economic Development & Sustainability, Trenton Downtown Association, Mercer Regional County Chamber of Commerce and state entities to further economic development.
