Industry in Lakewood began more than 150 years ago. One of our founding
fathers, Joseph Brick, established the Bergen Iron Works in 1833, creating the region's
first significant hub for employment. Today, Lakewood is alive with economic development
and growth. Our industrial parks are composed of more than 2200 acres of land, housing over
350 businesses and providing employment for almost 10,000 people. Together, the industrial
parks comprise the second largest municipal industrial complex in the state.
The continued health and vitality of the Township Industrial Park and Urban Enterprise Zone
reflects itself upon the positive present state and future predictions of economic success
and job creation for Lakewood. Lakewood Industrial Commission
and Lakewood Development Corporation
continue to attract and retain business and reap continued success in the
business sector. With programs such as the "Job Link Program"
, creating a link between the
local need for jobs and those available in the UEZ and Industrial Parks, and the continued
push for State-wide and national recognition, the direction of the economic future of our
town is certain - continued growth and prosperity.
