NEWARK — Would you open a business in Newark?
Plenty of people have said, "no." WalletHub, an finance website that creates nationwide rankings, recently named the city the worst one in the country to start a business. Earlier this year, the site said Newark was one of the worst places to find a job.
But, business owners and organizations in the city say those rankings are based on Newark's reputation – not what's actually happening downtown.
"This ranking is not just wrong, it's dead wrong," Otis Rolley, the President and CEO of the Newark Community Economic Development Corporation, said in a statement to NJ Advance Media.
