"We wanted to update our website and create a webstore to do retail,” she said. “We already do wholesale, but we wanted to go straight to the customer, she said.”

NJEDA Announces Partnerships To Enhance Outreach to Minority-, Women-, LGBTQ-Owned Businesses TRENTON, N.J. (May 29, 2020) – The New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) today announced partnerships with three leading minority- and women-owned marketing and public relations firms to enhance the Authority’s efforts to help minority-, women-, and veteran-owned businesses impacted by the coronavirus pandemic prepare to apply for the second round of Small Business Emergency Assistance Grant Program funding.

The outbreak of novel coronavirus has created a major public health and economic crisis in New Jersey. To mitigate the economic impacts, the NJEDA created the Small Business Emergency Assistance Grant Program. During Phase 1, the NJEDA supported more than 1,500 businesses across all 21 counties with $5 million in grants.

Phase 2 expands the program using $45 million from the federal Coronavirus Relief Fund established under the Federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Eligibility changes for Phase 2 significantly expand the types and size of businesses that can apply for funding. Of the $45 million available, $15 million of Phase 2 funding will be set aside to support qualified businesses located in one of the 715 census tracts that were eligible to be selected as Opportunity Zones.

To ensure minority and women business owners are aware of the funding available through Phase 2 of the Grant Program and are prepared to apply, the NJEDA has contracted with Medina = Citi, 360 Marketing and PR, and Tara Dowdell Group to coordinate strategic outreach to these targeted communities. Solicitations were sent to select firms based on relevant experience and track record of success reaching the target audiences.

Firms submitted proposals and were selected based on the strength of their proposed plans and established connections to diverse communities across the state. Each contract is for $10,000, for a total NJEDA expenditure of $30,000. All three firms are minority-owned; 360 Marketing and PR and Tara Dowdell Group are women-owned.

Applications for Phase 2 of the Small Business Emergency Assistance Grant Program will be available soon. Comprehensive information about New Jersey’s coronavirus response is available at https://cv.business.nj.gov.

Censo N.J. del 2020 – Semana de la Comunidad Empresarial Local y Estatal (Mayo 18-24) Puntos de Conversación/Publicaciones para Socios

¡Estamos destacando la importancia de la COMUNIDAD EMPRESARIAL A NIVEL LOCAL Y ESTATAL EN N.J. y lo importante que es para nuestros residentes! Los datos del Censo ayudan a determinar a donde serán distribuidos más de $45 mil millones de dólares en fondos federales que ayudan a Nueva Jersey. Tener un conteo exacto de nuestra población y sus necesidades son importantes para nuevas oportunidades de empleo.

Según los datos de la Oficina del Censo de EE. UU. De un informe de 2017, Nueva Jersey alberga 233,907 establecimientos de empleadores, casi el 3% de los establecimientos de empleadores nacionales (más de 7.8 millones).

El Censo es una herramienta invaluable para estas empresas, ya que proporciona datos valiosos sobre las comunidades, incluyendo tendencias de la población, proyecciones de crecimiento y la información demográfica.

Losdatos del Censo ayudan a informar la toma de decisiones sobre expansiones de negocios y estrategias de contratación, así como también cómo se distribuyen las subvenciones para el desarrollo económico.

Esta semana demuestra especialmente el impacto de largo alcance de las estadísticas del Censo: hemos estado compartiendo información sobre cómo los datos del Censo ayudan a determinar cómo asignaran y gastaran millones de dólares anuales para servicios públicos importantes como hospitales, escuelas y carreteras. Pero estos cambios y oportunidades a su vez generan oportunidades para las empresas del sector privado.
