TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - New Jersey businesses with 100 or fewer workers can get a 65% discount on personal protective equipment starting Tuesday through a state development authority program.
The New Jersey Economic Development Authority said in a statement that state-based companies with 100 or fewer employees can get the equipment at reduced cost by applying online at ppe.covid19.nj.gov.
The discount program has a cap of $800 for all eligible businesses and $1,000 for businesses in one of the state’s 715 census tracts designated as Opportunity Zones.
The authority first offered the discount program last year and brought it back this year, declaring 2020’s efforts a “success,” according to CEO Tim Sullivan.
The authority, an independent state organization whose top leadership is appointed by the governor, runs programs aimed at boosting the state’s economy, including through partnerships, loans and tax credits.
