“These are very difficult times for small businesses, many of which are still rebuilding after two years of state-imposed COVID restrictions and shutdowns,” said State Director Kean. “We are grateful to Senator Oroho for being so generous with his time and listening to the challenges New Jersey small business owners are facing across the state. He is a Main Street champion in the Senate, and we thank him for his leadership.”
