Bill Summary

This bill amends an appropriations bill passed by the Legislature in 1999 that awarded $20 million in grants and loans from the "1996 Economic Development Site Fund" established pursuant to section 20 of the "Port of New Jersey Revitalization, Dredging, Environmental Cleanup, Lake Restoration, and Delaware Bay Area Economic Development Bond Act of 1996," P.L.1996, c.70. The funds were awarded to eight municipalities that had been recommended and approved to receive the money by the Economic Development Site Task Force. A grant in the amount of $250,000 and a loan in the amount of $1,250,000 were awarded to the Barnegat Bay Decoy and Baymen's Museum. This bill would convert the loan into grant.

AI Summary

This bill converts a $1,250,000 loan awarded to the Barnegat Bay Decoy and Baymen's Museum in 1999 from the "1996 Economic Development Site Fund" into a $1,500,000 grant. The funds were originally part of a $20 million allocation for loans and grants to various economic development projects in the Delaware River and Bay Region. This change would make the funding for the museum a full grant rather than a loan.
