It's 600 A.D. in Britain and the Saxons of Essex found a new territory called Middlesex. By this time, you have the South Saxons (Sussex), East Saxons (Essex), Middle Saxons (Middlesex), and the West Saxons (Wessex). For us in New Jersey, you'll recognize familiar names. Except for one. Why is there no Wessex County in New Jersey? When NJ was in its English-ruled infancy it was split in two, East and West Jersey. In the 1600's East Jersey formed the Counties of Bergen, Essex, Middlesex, and Monmouth. West Jersey formed Salem and Burlington. As New Jersey unified and developed new Counties, Sussex County was founded in 1753. And for anyone looking at a map, here is my glaring problem with that. Sussex being the northern-most County in the State, its name, to put it politely, is stupid considering its namesake. So stupid in fact that with it being WEST of Essex and Middlesex, naming it Wessex County is just so obvious. Also there was never a "Norsex" (Northern Saxon) kingdom in England, so again Wessex County make sense. Since then, Counties have been partitioned and new were Counties founded, but none were to be named Wessex. Perhaps one day we'll see it become a 22nd County in New Jersey. Oddly enough, a fictional Wessex County, New Jersey does exist and in all places it's the Friday the 13th series. Anyway, this is my short rant on why Sussex should be renamed Wessex County, and New Jersey can form a new 22nd County in South Jersey called Sussex. #NJHistory #Wessex #22ndCounty

Growing up in a Mississippi small town of 2,000 people, I constantly heard and felt the narrative of the South being “lesser than” much of the country. My childhood was great. The people around me were great. But, after reading 1,000 rankings that claim your state is the worst in the country, you can start to feel the downward pressure on economic growth for your community and for the people in your life. As I began my career in economic development, I was ready to face the constant battle between staying in the South and trying to build stronger economies at home or following the career and economic opportunities that come with life and work in more developed or growing economies. Thankfully, the tides have turned in the South, as people and businesses continue to flock into our region. And, over the past few years, I began to think… I’M NOT LIVING IN THE POOR OLD SOUTH ANYMORE. When I joined Steadfast City Economic & Community Partners, about a year and a half ago, I was encouraged that Doug Rasmussen and our team shared my view that the Southeastern market was primed for growth and opportunity in the public and private sectors. When Jessica Sawyer Walker joined the team, just a few months after me, and we started gaining some traction in the market, I realized that my shifting thoughts about the South were most definitely true. A young company based in a large metro was looking to grow where there was opportunity, and the South presented that opportunity. After adding Danielle Winningham to the team, last fall, we opened a physical office in Fairhope, Alabama, and as I’ve reflected on what that means… well, it means a lot. It means that I didn’t have to leave the South to find opportunity and career growth—it can follow me where I go. It means that companies recognize the potential of our market—the potential of the people that I love most in this world. And, it means that I don’t have to awkwardly meet with clients in random coffee shops any more. Next week, we will host several of Steadfast’s newest hires in our Fairhope office, as they prepare to realize and tell their own stories of what economic and community development means to them. And, oddly enough, one of them also grew up in my home town of 2,000 people in Mississippi. My takeaway… Communities, economies, and careers can be built wherever you are—even in the Poor Old South.

🎥 The Erie-Niagara Board of REALTIST® was this month's "In the Spotlight" interview with the Buffalo Niagara Association of REALTORS, Inc.
