[Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy]

Today, we settled the debate once and for all that Central Jersey exists by designating the area — rich in American history, innovation, and the outdoors — as an official tourism region of the Garden State.

If you're making travel or vacation plans, come visit Central Jersey!

[Wallace House & ODP @WallaceHouseODP]

Today at the Wallace House & Old Dutch Parsonage historic sites. Thank you @GovMurphy, @AsmRoyFreiman @AndrewZwicker for your support of Central Jersey.
