New Jersey's Mercer County, which is situated midway between New York and Philadelphia, wants to hire a PR firm to promote tourism.
With a population of more than 370K people, Jersey’s capital county features some of the finest cultural centers and historical sites in the Garden State, as well as first-class parks, a living history farm, wildlife center and four public golf courses, according to its RFP.
Mercer is home to Princeton University and its Tony Award-winning McCarter Theatre Center.
State and local tourism-related taxes amounted to $166M in 2016, which was up 4.1 percent from the year-earlier period. Tourism employed about 13K people, or 4.5 percent of the County’s jobs.
Mercer plans to award a two-year contract with an option to renew for an additional year. Budget is $30K a-year.
Proposals are due Nov. 13. Send the original and ten copies to:
Purchasing Department
Attn: Isamar Maldonado, Purchasing Agent
McDade Administration Building

Room 321
