Re: Welcome Letter
Dear Visitor,
Welcome to Jersey City, the second largest city in the State of New Jersey. We are home to gourmet dining, world class hotels, and national landmarks -- a true American melting pot with more than 90 different languages spoken in our public schools.
No matter what time of year you are visiting, there are a host of premier cultural events, art openings, concerts, ethnic festivals and parades happening throughout the city.
Jersey City is a shopper’s paradise, offering a variety of renowned department stores, luxury brand shops, small boutiques and unique ethnic shopping opportunities scattered throughout the city. Here in Jersey City you will find no sales tax on clothing and only 3.5% tax on all goods in participating locations in our Urban Enterprise Zones.
I urge you to experience all that Jersey City has to offer and wish you a pleasant stay.
- Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy
