New Brunswick’s UEZ: It’s the Key to Savings for Developers!

Locating and expanding businesses in New Brunswick just got a whole lot more affordable and profitable with the designation of our Urban Enterprise Zone. The UEZ is an area within our City where you can qualify for incentives to locate a new business, expand an established business and expand employment.

We are very excited to join New Jersey’s nationally acclaimed UEZ program. Since 1984, it has been an engine for driving urban revitalization and economic growth. The UEZ program, a proven success in 27 zones throughout the state, has generated 58,216 jobs and $387 million for reinvestment projects.

The New Brunswick UEZ will become a magnet for shoppers who will pay just 3% sales tax. Plus, that sales tax stays right here in our City to be used for the types of capital improvements and economic development activities that keep real estate values high and space in demand.

Lower building & development costs:

What would a 6% savings on construction costs mean to you?

If you qualify as a UEZ Member, you will enjoy these benefits:

• You can purchase goods for building sales tax free. This includes office and building supplies, business equipment and fixtures.
• A tax credit of up to $1500 is available for non-retail businesses hiring new employees.
• Customized job training assistance from the New Jersey Department of Labor in partnership with the City of New Brunswick.
• 3% sales tax: If you or your clients are retail businesses, this is a huge incentive for local and out-of-town consumers to shop with YOU. By advertising the 3% sales tax, you can gain a tremendous advantage over your competition, gain new customers and retain established customers.
• Plus, the sales tax you collect stays right here in New Brunswick to be invested in business improvements that will further enhance our City as a hub for shopping and small business opportunities.

The City of New Brunswick is ready to assist you.
