Taxpayers may be on the hook for more than $2 million in loans made through state economic development programs as a result of the bankruptcy of Formica Bros. Bakery and two affiliated companies.
The businesses, owned by Atlantic County Freeholder Frank Formica, owed about $2 million to the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and $689,000 to the Pleasantville Urban Enterprise Zone, a program through the state Department of Community Affairs, when they filed for Chapter 7 liquidation in April.
Formica declined to comment Wednesday on the advice of his attorney.
