Establishes Winery Co-marketing Grant Program; appropriates $500,000.
This bill creates a $500,000 Winery Co-marketing Grant Program administered by New Jersey's Department of Agriculture. It directly helps New Jersey wineries (with plenary or farm licenses) by reimbursing them for part of their marketing costs when they partner with other local businesses like restaurants, hotels, roadside markets selling "Jersey Fresh" products, or farms offering agricultural tourism. Grants cover 25% to 45% of eligible costs based on how many partner businesses are involved (1, 2, or 3+ partners), with a maximum $25,000 per winery annually. The program requires annual reports to the Governor and Legislature detailing grants awarded, program effectiveness, and funding needs.
