During the pandemic, Somerset County saw a 51% decline in its tourism industry sales, making it one of the hit hardest counties in New Jersey. Tourism revenue fell from $1.3 million in 2019 to $612,000 in 2020, and the number of visitors to the county dropped 27.8% from 3 million to 2.2 million.
“The Somerset County Film Commission will highlight all our amenities to the industry, but more importantly bring opportunities to open and expand businesses that create jobs for our residents,” said County Commission Director Shanel Y. Robinson. “With everything Somerset County has to offer and the pandemic slowing down, now is the perfect time to create the Film Commission and ensure we bring in our fair share of New Jersey’s booming film production industry.”

SOMERVILLE – Somerset County s property tax rate will be going up less than 1 percent under a budget introduced by the county commissioners.
That increase means the property tax for county purposes on a home assessed at $455,373, the country average, will increase by $55.13. That does not include any increases for local school or municipal taxes.
Though the $255.12 county budget is increasing by 1.25 percent, the tax increase is being held down by a 2.38 percent increase in the overall value of assessed property in the county.
“The 2021 budget that we have created strikes the balance by being compassionate yet fiscally responsible, County Commission Director Shanel Y. Robinson said. This budget ensures that we continue to provide all current services, while being able to add additional services such as free COVID testing and vaccinations for Somerset County residents.”
