Description

As America prepares to mark its 250th anniversary in 2026, the Capital City finds itself at the center of both history and opportunity. Trenton’s rich Revolutionary past makes it a natural focal point for upcoming commemorations, celebrations, and tourism initiatives. With state, county, and city leaders working together to prepare, the potential economic impact on local businesses and the region as a whole is substantial.
