Hello, Mr. Jolly. With respect to the community health outreach part of
your request, please be advised that the EDA does not, at this time, have
assistance programs targeting community health outreach as you describe;
therefore, we are unable to provide records responsive to this part of
your request.
With respect to the food assistance part of your request, please be
advised that, as part of the FEED NJ application, applicants were required
to indicate which of NJEDA's [1]50 Food Desert Communities (FDCs) they
would serve as part of their projects. Three of the 50 FDCs — (a)
Bridgeton/Fairfield Twp/Lawrence Twp, (b) Millville/Commercial Twp, and
(c) Vineland city — are located in Cumberland County. Note that applicants
could elect to serve multiple FDCs throughout the state.
The attached spreadsheet lists the eight entities that indicated they
would serve at least one of the three Cumberland County FDCs. Please,
feel free to reach out should you require any further assistance. This
request is completed and closed.
Best,
Marcus
