EZ Employment Act of 1997
The EZ Employment Act of 1997, as amended empowers the local governing body to make a case by case determination of the eligibility of each business for EZ tax abatements and other incentives. Among the considerations may be the following:
- Locating in a vacant building
- Demolishing a pre-existing or abandoned structure
- Assembling four or more tracts of land for one project
- Creating jobs above the state threshold
- Creating jobs for residents of the EZ and surrounding area
- Incorporating aesthetic enhancements (i.e.: landscaping, type of façade materials used, exclusion of billboards)
