We’re back with Freeholder Joseph Vicari. Freeholder/Commisioner Vicari spoke about a grant that is available on a first come, first serve basis in order to help the family owned small businesses throughout Ocean County, which he feels are the backbone of the community. Over sixty percent of small businesses in our State are suffering economic hardship due to the Covid pandemic. This grant is part of the NJ Cares Act, and is designed to be used to help business owners with rent and leases.
