Somerset County is home to a substantial number of businesses of many sizes and types, all of which enjoy its location in the center of a major metropolitan area and near vital forms of transportation. Plus, the great opportunities afforded through local governing bodies, chambers of commerce, economic development entities and institutions such as Raritan Valley Community College and Somerset County Technical Institute are matchless. Smaller, locally owned businesses are successfully mixed with national corporate headquarters representing such industries as pharmaceutical, biotechnology, management services, communications and engineering.e
