The Urban Enterprise Zone (UEZ) is a program initiated in 1983 by the State of New Jersey to offer economic incentives and encourage business growth and development within certain qualified communities. Benefits provided to businesses by the UEZ program through the state include reduced sales taxes for customers, tax exemptions on certain business expenses such as the purchase of capital equipment, and qualification for state funded grant and loan programs. At the local level, Pemberton Township can also offer support to participating businesses in the UEZ.
The Urban Enterprise Zone within Pemberton Township encompasses approximately 1/3 of the lands of the Township, from Browns Mills to Birmingham, and covering much of the lands on Pemberton-Browns Mills Road, Magnolia Road, Lakehurst Road, Fort Dix Road, North Pemberton Road, South Pemberton Road, Arneys Mount Road, and Route 206. Pemberton Township is in the process of preparing a strategic plan for the Urban Enterprise Zone. This survey is intended to help guide Pemberton in the preparation of that plan.
