New Jersey Governor Chris Christie today announced that he has appointed Marc Ferzan, a former high-ranking member of the state Attorney General's Office, to oversee and coordinate the state's long-term efforts to recover from Superstorm Sandy, in cooperation with federal, state, local, private, and non-governmental partners.

Mr. Ferzan's first task will be assembling a core team to guide this effort and the different areas of focus that require long-term strategic planning, according to a statement from the Governor's Office.

The storm on Oct. 28 and 29 wreaked an estimated $37 billion in damage in the Garden State, caused widespread power outages and devastated coastal areas.  

Mr. Ferzan had served as Executive Assistant Attorney General before leaving for a private sector job in June 2012.
