... In neighboring
Franklin Township, economic development director Frank
Hasner could hardly contain his excitement. Five of this
year's "Fast 50" winners are based in the township's
Somerset section.
"The truth
of the matter is, I had a gut feeling, but I didn't know
it statistically," Hasner said.
Noting that New
Jersey's position between New York City and Philadelphia
is a business advantage for the state as a whole, he suspects
Franklin Township is even more strategically placed, being
sandwiched between Princeton University and Rutgers University. "I
think having the labor pool that's associated with (those
colleges) is something that gives us a bigger edge."
... In addition
to Multilink, Somerset was represented by New Age Systems,
Inc., Melillo Consulting Inc., VR Systems Inc., and Emcore
Corporation.
