MILLVILLE — The Pascale Sykes Foundation is launching a multimillion-dollar economic-development endeavor intended to help low-income working families in four South Jersey counties.
The largest part of the 10-year project involves spending what organizers hope will be as much as $15 million to stimulate existing businesses in, and lure new businesses to, Atlantic, Cumberland, Gloucester and Salem counties.
While the money will finance various economic development projects, the main thrust involves bolstering small businesses in downtown areas, said Wayne Meyer, president of the nonprofit New Jersey Community Capital. The New Brunswick-based company administers the funds for the project.
