EDA Financings

In April 2006, the EDA closed 25 financings totaling over $43 million in
assistance. The assistance will benefit businesses, not-for-profits, and
brownfields projects, and will support the creation of an estimated 18
full-time jobs and 277 construction jobs. These financings are expected to
leverage nearly $76 million in public/private investment in New Jersey.

The New Jersey Business Growth Fund is the result of a partnership with the
EDA and PNC Bank to provide below-market interest financing rates to support
the growth of small and mid-size businesses. The program requires that
applicants create jobs in order to be eligible, with the exception of
manufacturers, which must only commit to maintaining existing jobs. For more
