To revitalize a state suffering from the economic and personal hardships wrought by the COVID pandemic, New Jersey Governor Murphy signed into law on Jan. 7, 2021, the New Jersey Economic Recovery Act of 2020. The Act adopts a series of incentives to both encourage businesses to settle in New Jersey and prevent Garden State businesses from fleeing to greener pastures elsewhere. Many of these programs will be administered by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (“Authority”).
The new Emerge Program provides tax credits to encourage economic development, job creation and the retention of significant numbers of jobs in imminent danger of leaving the state. The program will target businesses that build, acquire or lease space in the state with plans to create or retain full-time jobs.
