City of Bridgeton UEZ is a FREE program for all businesses, and we host events like this one and collaborate with partners to help spread the word about our program and help it grow! 💼💡 Events such as the Holiday Market help raise awareness of our program and connect local businesses with the resources and support they need. Our mission is to support local businesses, helping them save money, grow, and strengthen their presence in the community. Business owners have access to tax incentives, one-on-one support, funding and grant opportunities, marketing assistance, training, and business classes — all designed to uplift and empower you.
As your UEZ Coordinator, I love helping entrepreneurs, small businesses, and new business owners join the program and take advantage of every resource available. Whether you’ve been here for years or are just starting out, we are here to advocate for you, support you, and make sure you have everything you need to thrive. 🌟📈 If we don’t have the resources you need, we will connect you with someone who can help! 🤝
If you’re a Bridgeton business and haven’t joined yet, I’d be honored to help you get registered and connected to all the incredible UEZ benefits. Together, we’re building a stronger Bridgeton — one business at a time. 💖🏙️ Stephanie Gonzalez, Bridgeton UEZ Coordinator
Bring your family and friends for a day of fun, community, and holiday cheer! ❤️🎉🎄 Please share and invite your family and friends! 🎁❄️
