Feds Accept Governors Sandy Disaster Recovery Action Plan


Stronger New Jersey Business Grants Available Soon!



Today, Governor Chris Christie and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Shaun Donovan announced HUD's approval of New Jersey's Disaster Recovery Action Plan. The Action Plan outlines how the State will utilize $1.8 billion in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to help homeowners, renters, businesses and communities impacted by Superstorm Sandy. 



Governor Christie has called on the EDA to advance the CDBG-funded programs that will support the recovery of New Jersey's storm-impacted businesses and communities. As a result of today's HUD approval, in the coming days EDA will be launching the first of its CDBG-funded business recovery programs - the Stronger New Jersey Business Grant Program. This program will provide up to $50,000 to small businesses and not-for-profit organizations that sustained physical damage from Superstorm Sandy.
