Establishes EDA grant program to support increased business expenses incurred by certain businesses impacted by emergency bridge projects; appropriates $1 million.

This bill establishes a grant program administered by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority to help small retail businesses cover increased operating costs caused by temporary bridge closures. To qualify, businesses must be located in areas where traffic is restricted due to an emergency bridge project and must apply with documentation showing their expenses rose during the closure period. The program provides funding equal to the difference between the business's normal expenses and the higher costs incurred during the closure, with a total appropriation of $1 million available. Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Transportation to notify the authority when emergency bridge projects begin or end to facilitate the application process.
