Bill > A6219

This bill amends the Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations act to reassign a $500,000 state aid allocation from the City of Camden's Capital Projects to Parkside Business & Community in Partnership, a local 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Specifically, the bill reduces the Department of Community Affairs' Local Government Services state aid budget from $945,063,000 to $944,563,000 and increases the Community Resources grants-in-aid budget from $79,250,000 to $79,750,000. The $500,000 line item is removed from the City of Camden's Capital Projects and added as a new line item for Parkside Business & Community in Partnership. The bill provides for an immediate effective date, meaning the appropriation transfer would take effect as soon as the bill is signed into law. This change appears to redirect funding from municipal capital projects to a community-focused non-profit organization that aims to restore the Parkside neighborhood in Camden through integrated revitalization efforts.
