UEZ FIVE YEAR ZONE DEVELOPMENT PLAN

The purpose of this Five-Year Zone Development Plan is to establish the Irvington UEZ’s mission, provide goals and objectives that will guide the implementation and measurement of future projects and programs, and to identify a set of actions that can be undertaken, beginning immediately, over the next five-years using the Township’s Zone Assistance Funds (ZAF).

Irvington's History

Established in May 1996, portions of the township are part of an Urban Enterprise Zone (UEZ), one of 32 zones covering 37 municipalities statewide. Irvington was selected in 1996 as one of a group of seven zones added to participate in the program. In addition to other benefits to encourage employment and investment within the UEZ, shoppers can take advantage of a reduced 3.3125% sales tax rate (half of the 6+5⁄8% rate charged statewide) at eligible merchants.
