A 4787 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

"Atlantic City Urban Enterprise Zone and Property Tax Relief Act"; creates urban enterprise zone in Atlantic City for 10 years.

This bill creates a 10-year urban enterprise zone in Atlantic City to encourage economic development and business investment in the area. It defines specific criteria for businesses to qualify for the zone, requiring them to hire employees who are local residents, unemployed for at least six months, or classified as low-income individuals. The legislation also establishes rules for businesses operating on casino property, allowing them to qualify if they meet the employment requirements, while excluding casinos themselves from qualified business status. By amending existing state statutes, the bill provides a framework for tax relief and development incentives aimed at supporting local employment and community growth in Atlantic City.
