The Downtown Trenton Neighborhood Preservation Program (NPP) is hosting the Downtown Trenton NPP Business Plan Competition, in collaboration with the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at The College of New Jersey. The competition aims to promote economic growth and development in the area by providing local entrepreneurs with an opportunity to grow their skills and showcase their innovative business ideas.
Applications are open through June 30 for business ideas for downtown Trenton. Two winners will receive $5,000 toward the lease of a downtown space located within the NPP area. Participants must meet with an SBDC expert by August 31 and submit a business plan by September 5. Two winners will be announced by October 31.
The Neighborhood Preservation Program is a five-year grant from the NJ Department of Community Affairs that is designed to generate visible, tangible change in the Downtown Neighborhood driven by local residents and business owners. Downtown Trenton is one of 40 NPP neighborhoods statewide.
