On December 21, 2020, the New Jersey Legislature passed the “
New Jersey Economic Recovery Act of 2020” (the “Economic Recovery Act” or the Act ), an omnibus piece of legislation which provides support for various programs and policies related to jobs, property development, food deserts, community partnerships, and small and early-stage businesses, among others. The bill now heads to Governor Murphy, who is expected to sign it into law.
In an effort to bolster development, the Economic Recovery Act creates, among other things, various tax credit programs which will provide qualifying taxpayers with tax credits for project financing gaps for: (i) qualified redevelopment projects, (ii) rehabilitating qualified historic New Jersey properties, (iii) remediation costs for qualified brownfield redevelopment projects, and (iv) establishing and retaining new supermarkets and grocery stores in food desert communities.

NEW JERSEY As businesses continue to struggle and many find it hard to make ends meet, Gov. Phil Murphy is set to sign a massive, $14 billion corporate tax-break bill into law that s supposed to give New Jersey a big boost amid the COVID-19 crisis.
The more than 100-page New Jersey Economic Recovery Act of 2020 introduced last Wednesday received criticism for its limited public testimony. But Murphy defended the proposal in Monday s coronavirus news conference, saying the bill would update economic-development incentive programs that expired more than a year ago.
