Issue Position: Higher Education

Issue Position

A former state college Trustee, Troy knows that quality higher education in New Jersey is essential to helping our children get tomorrow's good-paying jobs and keeping our state competitive in today's economy. That's why he sponsored last year's voter-approved referendum which is investing more than $1 billion in our colleges and universities to provide New Jersey students and entrepreneurs the tools they need to compete. Todays' investments in cutting edge facilities, which lead to new start-ups in biotech, computing and alternative energy, will power New Jersey's economy in the future and keep us competitive with neighboring states like New York and Connecticut.

To further support educational success, Troy also sponsored the bill which directs the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and Secretary of Higher Education to promote establishment of higher education and business partnerships.
