Roselle UEZ

The Urban Enterprise Zone Program was enacted by the New Jersey State Legislature in 1983 to help stimulate new economic activity and reduce unemployment within the boundaries of each zone.  The establishment of these zones helps provide incentives for businesses to come to these communities and occupy existing facilities or build new.

Since our inception, over 200 businesses have registered in the Roselle Urban Enterprise Zone program.  The Urban Enterprise Zone is an area designated by the State UEZ Authority to revitalize critical shopping districts and industrial centers.  Our mission is to create jobs, bring new business prosperity, and raise the quality of life in our community.
