Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell is extending an olive branch to New Jersey Governor-elect Chris Christie. The two met at a high tech manufacturer to discuss how they can work together to attract business to the region.
The old Fairless Hills U.S. Steel plant, where Christie and Rendell met, now produces energy efficient materials. Governor Elect Christie says he wants to take some of Governor Rendell’s ideas, such as tax incentives for high tech business and transfer them across the Delaware River.
Christie: These are the kind of things especially with new businesses, especially start up businesses that need to get their feet under them develop jobs, develop business, make profits. The leader of this business comes from my home town and he’s here, that’s a testimony.
Governor Christie says he will compete even with neighboring states to bring business to the Garden State. Governor Ed Rendell says he doesn’t necessary like neighboring states fighting for business, but bringing any business to the region from far away is a good thing.
