IF THE GRANT is ap proved, Tweed explained, the $500,000 would be administered through the county Economic Development Commission Loans of $50,000 or less would be authorized to commercial fishing operations for the purchase of new equipment The Small Cities money is appropriated, to the state from the federal Depart men! of Housing and Urban Development Although HUD s past funding priorities have been toward housing projects, that cm phasis changed last year toward projects that stimulate industry and create jobs. Because of the change in emphasis and the fact that the DCA recently approved a similar revolving loan fund for commercial fishing in Ocean Couhty, Tweed is optimistic about the county’s bid for the grant. "This isn’t a new industry we re trying to create," he concluded "This industry is viable."
