S 2210 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes Emerging Technology Urban Grant Program in EDA.

This bill creates the Emerging Technology Urban Grant Program, administered by New Jersey's Economic Development Authority (EDA). It provides financial assistance to qualifying emerging technology businesses for cloud computing services if they locate or maintain headquarters in designated urban technology zones (including cities like Newark, Trenton, and others meeting specific population criteria). To qualify, businesses must commit to keeping headquarters in these zones for five years, have 100 or fewer full-time employees, and demonstrate recent growth (20% employee increase or revenue growth). The grant covers the actual cost of eligible cloud services, aiming to spur job creation and economic revitalization in targeted urban areas.
