We’re pleased to share that CertiVend LLC is now an active registered vendor with the State of New Jersey through the NJSTART procurement system. This registration enables New Jersey state agencies to engage CertiVend for cybersecurity advisory, vendor risk, and compliance-related services in alignment with state procurement requirements. As third-party risk, supply-chain exposure, and regulatory expectations continue to grow across the public sector, CertiVend focuses on providing independent, standards-aligned cybersecurity guidance that helps organizations understand risk, strengthen governance, and improve readiness. We look forward to supporting public-sector teams across New Jersey with objective, practical cybersecurity expertise. #Cybersecurity #VendorRisk #ThirdPartyRisk #NewJersey #NJSTART

𝗔𝗪𝗦 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝗻𝘀𝘆𝗹𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮⚡ Amazon Web Services (AWS) is advancing plans for a 2.5 million sq ft hyperscale data center campus in Kline Township, PA - another major signal of sustained build demand in the Mid-Atlantic. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘀𝗻𝗮𝗽𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘁: • Up to 10 data center buildings • 346-acre site near I-81 & Route 309 • Land acquired for $178M (previously approved for a 3M sq ft warehouse) • Designed largely within an existing zoning and permitting footprint • 25–30 full-time jobs per building once operational 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘀👷‍♂️ Reusing an approved development footprint could help accelerate early site work, while the multi-building campus layout suggests phased delivery over multiple years - ideal for long-term GC, trade partner, and equipment pipelines. 𝗕𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 📈 AWS committed $20B in Pennsylvania data center investment, with additional campuses underway in Salem Township (15 buildings planned) and expanding interest in surrounding municipalities. Power, labor availability, and entitlement speed will continue to separate winners in this market. 👉 In markets like this, does speed-to-power or speed-to-permit end up being the real schedule driver on hyperscale campuses? #DataCenterConstruction #Hyperscale #MissionCritical #CriticalFacilities #DigitalInfrastructure #ConstructionManagement #AWS #InfrastructureInvestment #MidAtlantic #Pennsylvania
