Central Avenue in Jersey City Heights is the place for savvy entrepreneurs. With a neighborhood population of 55,000+, the New York City Port Authority Bus Terminal only 20 minutes away (via the No. 119), and an established Special Improvement District program, the 3/4 mile Central Avenue business district always attracts the attention of inspiring business owners. Additionally, businesses located within the Central Avenue business district qualify for Jersey City’s Urban Enterprise Zone Program which offers participants a number of tax and other financial incentives that help to grow business while stimulating the local economy. Businesses participating in the UEZ Program can charge half the standard sales tax rate on certain purchases and may enjoy tax exemptions on particular goods when they meet specified employment (and other) criteria.

As of July 1, 2011, these benefits are available through the NJ Business Action Center website. Businesses can follow the step-by-step instructions to determine if they qualify for the program (Hint: the entire Central Avenue business district is an Urban Enterprise Zone). If you do qualify, you may complete your registration, reporting, and sales tax payments right from that website.
