“Please raise your hand if your tenants have encountered any difficulties obtaining or retaining the workforce they need,” Anne Strauss-Wieder, Director, Freight Planning, North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority, asked the audience at NAIOP’s I.CON East: The Industrial Conference.
Almost every hand went up.
In a panel discussion on this workforce issue, Strauss-Wieder joined Glenn Best, director manufacturing and supply chain sector strategy, New Jersey Council of County Colleges; Steven Hussain, head of government and community affairs, Prologis; and Owen O’Neil, executive director, Lehigh and Northampton Transportation Authority; to share their perspectives and present some potential tools and solutions.
