A cross section of community representatives from the Greater
Trenton area have been engaged in a planning effort that has
determined that heritage tourism has the potential to become a major
vehicle for the Capital Region's urban revitalization as well as a source
of civic pride and business opportunity for its citizens. Heritage
tourism, linked to the arts, culture and entertainment can generate job
and business opportunities for community residents, increase revenue
for businesses, and help foster the restoration of historic buildings and
the revitalization of older neighborhoods. You are invited to help us
celebrate this initiative at our wine and cheese reception and hear
more about this effort and how you and your business take part in
making Trenton a tourist destination.
