Business Testimonials

"I chose Trenton because Trenton chose me. The outpouring of love and support from my people in the city continued to inspire and motivate my role as a local artist. I stay because I love it

What’s good about Trenton for my business is the location. There’s a constant flow of traffic in the area....and if I get hungry I can just go downstairs. There are also several boutiques, a hair salon and other galleries in the same building, and it allows the community to have several options. Being close to downtown Trenton as well, is a major plus, because of all the restaurants and new developments throughout the city. I’m excited to especially see the art community growing.

I love Trenton. I love the Community and everything it stands for... Life, Unity, Peace. - Leticia Letty Acevedo, Designs by Letty

I am a working artist. That's what I do. That is my career. I owe that in no small part to Artworks Trenton and Trenton itself. I don't think I would be where I am today without Artworks and Trenton in the mix. Common Threads sprang from Artworks and Trenton. My community activism springs from Artworks and Trenton. I'm a curator because of Artworks and Trenton. Artworks is an incubator for many of my ideas. Their open door policy has allowed me to grow as an artist, curator and organizer. Their trust in me and my ideas is something I can never thank them enough for. I'm looking forward to many more partnerships with them in the future. Holding Trenton in the light. Moving Trenton forward through art. - C.a. Shofed, Amphora Art

In 2015, I moved (Muirhead Foods) to Trenton for a lot of really good reasons. It’s in the city. It’s affordable. It’s along major highways, US Route 1 for example. There are a lot of suppliers and there’s a good labor force in this area as well. - Barbara Simpson, Muirhead Foods

We bought City Beef a number of years ago because we were so excited about the expansion and growth in Trenton New Jersey. We’ve been here for 61 years and Trenton has been the heart of the meat industry for New Jersey and City Beef is proud to be a part of it. - Chef Rick Tarantino, City Beef

The Hibbert Group was founded in Trenton 137 years ago and is an ideal location for our corporate headquarters. The train and highway system provide easy access to our northeastern clients.

We also have several employees who reside in Bucks County. The city’s government understands the importance of a strong business community and is attentive to our needs. We are very proud of the heritage, tradition and culture of our company.

The City of Trenton has proven to be a strategic location in terms of both logistics and hiring appropriately-skilled workers. - Jacob Zahler, CleanTex

We’ve been based in Trenton since 1920 and have never outsourced our work or jobs. We’re proud to continue contributing to the manufacturing comeback here in Trenton and the launch of our new division allows us to hire new employees while maintaining the loyal and multi-generational workforce who have made Switlik the continuing success it is today. - Stanley Switlik II, Switlick Survival Products

With Trenton’s resurgence and a growing realization that the downtown is a safe and interesting destination, the possibilities for attracting visitors (some of whom may wish to relocate here), residents, and work commuters are very real. The downtown is actually quite small and has very walk able space. That’s something you don’t have with many other cities. - Richard Hunter, Hunter Research

It’s great that we found office space on South Warren. There’s a lot of foot traffic, plus, a Starbucks is opening across the street. It’s an area that’s getting better, a happening area. - Dr. Navleen Thind, Capital Smiles Dental

We feel strongly that the Trenton area and the city of Trenton are making some crucial improvements to make it an even greater city. - Jarrod Grasso, New Jersey Realtors

(I was) attracted by Trenton's strategic location, proximity to major highways, area colleges and how it's between Philadelphia and New York. - Kamal Bathla, Maestro

Many of my customers live in or near the city. Being able to get here easily off an interstate is helpful for new customers. I have come to love the feel of the city, walking out and being able to walk around and seeing all the people walking about. I like that it’s a capital city too. I like history and there is so much here. - Kris King. Karl Weidel Insurance

We chose Trenton for their business for a lot of reasons, including the location in a walk able downtown with good public transportation, close to other businesses and the state capital was attractive both inherently and because they express many of our commitments. We love being in a historic downtown; we love being close to state, county and city agencies (we deal with all of them); we love being close to the train station, etc. The building we moved into is beautiful, historic and unique, all important characteristics for an architecture firm, and we were able to make it affordable, using Federal Historic Tax Credits and some other grant funding. It’s been a great move for us, and it’s been exciting being a part of Trenton’s renaissance. - John Hatch, Clarke Caton Hintz architects
