Service Description: The Enterprise Zone Program is responsible for the designation and administrative oversight of the 42 Enterprise Zones authorized by the state legislature. Targeting economically distressed areas throughout California, the program provides special incentives designed to encourage business investment and promote the creation of new jobs. The purpose of the program is to stimulate economic development by providing tax incentives to businesses enabling private sector market forces to revive the local economy. Each Enterprise Zone is administered by its local jurisdiction working with local agencies and business groups to promote economic growth through business expansion, attraction and retention, while providing an environment to nurture business creation as well. Enterprise Zone companies are eligible for substantial tax credits and benefits including: * Hiring Credits - Firms can earn $37,440 or more in state tax credits for each qualified employee hired; * Up to 100% Net Operating Loss (NOL) carry-forward. NOL may be carried forward 15 years under most circumstances; * Corporations can earn sales tax credits on purchases of up to $20 million per year of qualified machinery and machinery parts; * Up-front expensing of certain depreciable property. Lenders to Zone businesses may receive a net interest deduction; * Unused tax credits can be applied to future tax years, stretching out the benefit of the initial investment; Enterprise Zone companies can earn preference points on state contracts.

Description: California currently has four types of Geographically-Targeted Economic Development Areas (G-TEDAs). Each of these areas has related tax incentive benefits as well as a variety of locally provided incentives and benefits. The purpose of these benefits is to stimulate business investment and job creation for qualified disadvantaged individuals in state-designated economically distressed areas. These areas are: Enterprise Zones (EZs) Local Agency Military Base Recovery Areas (LAMBRAs) Manufacturing Enhancement Areas (MEAs) Targeted Tax Area (TTAs) Designated Enterprise Zones provide tax incentives to businesses and allow private-sector market forces to revive the local economy. The Local Agency Military Base Recovery Area or LAMBRA designations are similar to Enterprise Zone designations but focus on closed military facilities. The Department has also designated a Targeted Tax Area in Tulare County and two Manufacturing Enhancement Areas in Imperial County which are similar to the Enterprise Zone program.
