Ocean County is again providing grants of up to $30,000 for rent or lease payments to small businesses and nonprofits having difficulty making their commercial rent payments due to COVID-19.

The Ocean County Board of Commissioners is launching Phase 2 of the Small Business Lease Emergency Assistance Program, said board Director Gary Quinn. “We are again working in conjunction with the New Jersey Redevelopment Authority, which will be administering the grant program on our behalf.”
