The municipal aid funding total for Fiscal Year 2013 is $1,466,700,000. | DCA and Division on Women Host Women's Entrepreneurship Series With the goal of spurring more entrepreneurial activity among women in the Garden State, the New Jersey Division on Women is hosting a three-part business entrepreneurship series that was created specifically for women.
