New Jersey businesses can get personal protective equipment at a 10% discount through a new program from the state economic development authority, according to a mailer from the New Jersey Amusement Association.

Small businesses can purchase discounted PPE and apply for grants to help pay for them at the state's COVID-19 website.

The EDA program is using a public-private partnership model to provide automatic discounts on PPE purchased through EDA-approved "designated vendors."

The EDA has approved "designated vendors" for the launch of the program, including Boxed, an online shopping club that delivers household essentials in bulk, and Office Depot. These vendors have created "microsites" where New Jersey-based businesses can register and purchase a curated selection of PPE products at a 10% discount.

Gov. Phil Murphy recently signed an executive order mandating a number of safety issues, including having a supply of PPE at worksites.
