A 5423 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires EDA to include social media development services in services offered through Small Business E-commerce Support Program.

This bill requires New Jersey's Economic Development Authority (EDA) to add social media development services to its existing Small Business E-commerce Support Program. The program currently offers digital marketing and e-commerce consulting to eligible small businesses (like restaurants, retail stores, and personal care businesses in commercial locations). The bill mandates that EDA include social media platform development assistance alongside current services such as website creation and digital marketing planning. This change applies only to the current pilot program under the Main Street Recovery Finance Program, not future initiatives. The policy directly affects small businesses seeking digital support through this state-funded program.
