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 amends a 1999 law that originally allocated $20 million from the "1996 Economic Development Site Fund" for various economic development projects. Specifically, it changes a $1,250,000 loan previously awarded to the Barnegat Bay Decoy and Baymen's Museum into a grant, and combines it with the existing $250,000 grant, resulting in a total grant of $1,500,000 for the museum. The "1996 Economic Development Site Fund" was established through the "Port of New Jersey Revitalization, Dredging, Environmental Cleanup, Lake Restoration, and Delaware Bay Area Economic Development Bond Act of 1996" to support economic development initiatives. This change means the museum will no longer have to repay this portion of the funds.
