Missing Bower Compoents

I am trying to utilize grunt-wiredep to automatically inject any bower components into my html. Pretty straight forward but I am not sure how to set the correct path to the bower directory when running local host. At the moment I get the following error:

http://localhost:9000/bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.js Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

This is my structure

project

app (contains sass, js, html etc...)

bower_components

node_modules

bower.json

package.json

Gruntfile.js

HTML File

<!-- bower:js -->
<script src="../bower_components/modernizr/modernizr.js"></script>
<script src="../bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.js"></script>
<!-- endbower -->

Grunt File

                open: true,
                livereload: 35729,
                hostname: 'localhost',

            },
            livereload: {
                options: {
                    middleware: function(connect) {
                        return [

                        ];
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    },
        wiredep: {
        task: {
            // Point to the files that should be updated when you run `grunt wiredep`
            src: [
                '<%= config.app %>/**/*.html',          // .html support...

                '<%= config.app %>/config.yml'          // and .yml & .yaml support out of the box!
            ],
            options: {
                // See wiredep's configuration documentation for the options https://github.com/taptapship/wiredep#configuration
            }
        }
    }

I was able to resolve this issue by changing my grunt file to watch first, then connect (grunt server settings) then wiring up dependencies. The final Gruntfile looks like this:

'use strict';

module.exports = function(grunt){
// Load grunt tasks automatically
require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt);

// Configurable paths
var config = {
    app: 'app',
    dist: 'dist'
};

grunt.initConfig({
    config: config,

    // watch any js files on change
    watch: {
        options: { livereload: true },
        bower: {
            files: ['bower.json'],
            tasks: ['wiredep']
        },
        scripts: {
            files: ['<%= config.app %>/js/src/*.js'],
            tasks: ['uglify']
        },
        // sass
        sass: {
            files: ['<%= config.app %>/sass/**/*.scss'],
            tasks: ['compass:dev']
        },
        // watch html
        html: {
            files: ['<%= config.app %>/**/*.html']
        }
    },

    // Grunt server settings
    connect: {
        options: {
            port: 9000,
            open: true,
            livereload: 35729,
            // Change this to '0.0.0.0' to access the server from outside
            hostname: 'localhost'
        },
        livereload: {
            options: {
                middleware: function(connect) {
                    return [
                        connect().use('/bower_components', connect.static('./bower_components')),
                        connect.static(config.app)
                    ];
                }
            }
        }
    },

    wiredep: {
