Establishes small hospitality business winter preparation purchase or reimbursement program in EDA; appropriates $50 million to EDA from federal funds.
This bill establishes a $50 million grant program administered by New Jersey's Economic Development Authority (EDA) to help small hospitality businesses prepare for cold weather. It provides reimbursement for purchasing barriers, blankets, heaters, and tents needed for outdoor operations during winter, targeting businesses like restaurants, bars, and breweries with 100 or fewer employees. Each eligible business can receive up to $10,000 in funding, with applications requiring EDA approval and proof of equipment use. The funds come from federal Coronavirus Relief Fund allocations, and businesses must report on how they used the grants.
