Phil Murphy signed legislation making $135M in federal grants available to restaurants, bars, childcare providers and a host of other small businesses hit hard by the COVID pandemic. The money's available immediately through NJ's Economic Development Authority, and can be spent on inventory, rent, mortgage, utilities and even payroll.
