The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection urges businesses to reduce water use immediately following a statewide Drought Warning issued December 5. Persistent below-average precipitation has strained water supplies across all six state regions.
Mandatory restrictions may become necessary if drought conditions worsen. Landscapers, car washes, food service, manufacturing, and other water-intensive businesses should review current usage and conservation options now. DEP is monitoring conditions closely and working with water suppliers to manage supplies across affected regions.
The Asset Activation Planning Grant provides up to $100,000 to help organizations develop plans that demonstrate how to revitalize under-utilized public assets—vacant buildings, distressed land, or underused infrastructure owned by municipalities, counties, or public agencies.
Eligible applicants include New Jersey municipalities, counties, redevelopment agencies, independent authorities, nonprofit organizations, and for-profit entities. Proposals may include conceptual design, feasibility studies, economic analysis, market research, and redevelopment assessments that show how the project will strengthen the regional economy and community.
Applications open now. Applications require a $1,000 fee. Grant recipients receive 50% of funds upon agreement execution, then 25% each upon mid-way and final progress reports. Eligible projects typically focus on new business sectors, economic equity, public asset innovation, transportation access, workforce attraction, or sustainable land use.
New Jersey employers must report all employee separations electronically through the Employer Access portal as of December 8, 2025. This requirement applies to all separations regardless of reason: layoffs, terminations, resignations, or retirements.
Employers must provide separation information immediately when an employee becomes unemployed. The law requires electronic reporting to enable faster unemployment benefit determinations. Employers who fail to report separations face penalties for willful failure to furnish reports.
If you haven't registered for Employer Access yet, your authorization code is included in the annual assessment bill mailed mid-August. You must register with a valid email address to comply with the new reporting requirements.
