Dear Residents, Business Owners, and Visitors, 

It is with great pride and optimism that I welcome you to the official website of the East Orange Urban Enterprise Zone (UEZ). The designation of East Orange as a UEZ is more than a title—it is a powerful tool for economic revitalization, community empowerment, and business growth. 

The UEZ program offers a unique opportunity for our local businesses to thrive by providing access to a range of benefits, including reduced sales tax, financial incentives, and technical assistance. These advantages not only support individual enterprises but also contribute to the overall prosperity of our city. When our businesses succeed, our community flourishes. 

I strongly encourage all eligible businesses within the zone to become UEZ certified and take full advantage of the resources available. Your participation strengthens our local economy, creates jobs, and enhances the quality of life for all East Orange residents. 

I have full confidence in the Department of Policy, Planning and Development to lead this initiative with excellence and innovation. Their commitment to making the East Orange UEZ one of the most successful in the State of New Jersey is unwavering, and I am excited to see the transformative impact this program will have on our city. 

Together, we are building a brighter, more prosperous East Orange—one business, one opportunity, and one success story at a time.
