Lori Pepenella, CEO of the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce, has been named to the volunteer board of trustees assigned to oversee the Pro-NJ Grantor Trust fund, established by Ørsted, the Danish company developing the Ocean Wind offshore wind farm.

The Pro-NJ Grantor Trust is a $15 million fund that will offer New Jersey-based small, women-owned and minority-owned businesses support in re-tooling their businesses to enter the offshore wind industry.
