Urges Governor and Legislature to establish programs to help eliminate food deserts.

This Senate Resolution (SR 73) urges the Governor and New Jersey Legislature to create incentive programs that encourage grocery stores and supermarkets to open in areas designated as "food deserts." Food deserts are communities - often low-income urban or rural areas - where residents lack access to fresh, nutritious food and rely on processed options, contributing to health issues. The resolution specifically proposes developing financial or policy incentives to attract grocery businesses to these underserved locations. It does not create new laws but formally requests legislative action to address food access gaps.
