A 2359 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires Director of Division of Housing and Community Resources in DCA to establish grant program to encourage local governments to promote New Jersey as innovation hub in certain fields; appropriates $100,000.

This bill creates a $100,000 grant program administered by New Jersey's Division of Housing and Community Resources to fund street pole banners promoting local innovation achievements. It directly affects municipalities that apply, requiring them to submit plans highlighting specific regional accomplishments in fields like bioscience, clean energy, or telecommunications. Selected municipalities (nine total, with three per region and diverse urban/rural representation) must use funds to develop and install banners, then report on expenditures and banner impact within one year. The program includes mandatory reporting to the state on implementation and best practices, with the goal of evaluating potential statewide expansion.
