With all the state and local discussions going on about warehouse development and supporting infrastructure, we feel the public deserves to know the truth - warehouses and dis- tribution centers make a sub- stantial economic contribution to New Jersey’s economy that no industry can match.” “While we have always known how impactful it is to New Jersey, this report shows just how much critical links in the logistics industry like warehouses and distribu- tion centers contribute to the state’s economy,” said John J.
Nardi, President of the Ship- ping Association of NY and NJ. The analysis is the first com - plimentary report undertaken in conjunction with the 2025 Economic Impact Assessment of the New York-New Jersey Port Industry. The Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation (CAIT) at Rutgers University undertook this study on behalf of NAIOP, the Commercial Real Estate Development Association and in partnership with the Ship- ping Association of New York and New Jersey.
