S 3443 New Jersey Senate · 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 (UEZ) in Atlantic City, offering property tax relief to qualifying businesses operating within the zone. It directly affects businesses that meet specific workforce criteria, such as employing at least 25% of full-time workers from eligible local areas (including low-income residents, long-term unemployed, or public assistance recipients) and maintaining tax compliance. The zone excludes casinos themselves but allows non-casino businesses operating on casino property to qualify for tax benefits if they meet the hiring requirements. The bill amends existing UEZ laws to establish Atlantic City as a designated zone under the same framework used for other urban enterprise zones in New Jersey.
