City of Pleasantville UEZ Community Survey

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, the City of Pleasantville can also offer support to participating businesses in the UEZ.

The UEZ within the City of Pleasantville encompasses the areas of the City generally along the Black Horse Pike, Main Street, and New Road (Route 9), as well as portions of Delilah Road, Washington Avenue, the industrial parks, and most of the central business district of the City.

The City of Pleasantville is in the process of preparing a strategic plan for the Urban Enterprise Zone. This survey is intended to help guide the City in the preparation of that plan.
