Enterprise Zone Program – ADECA ADECA / Enterprise Zone Program The Alabama Enterprise Zone Act, enacted in 1987, provides certain tax incentives to corporations, partnerships and proprietorships that locate or expand within designated Enterprise Zones. In addition to state-level tax incentives, businesses may also receive local tax and non-tax incentives for locating or expanding within a designated Enterprise Zone.
As of October 1, 2016, the definition of an Enterprise Zone changed. The Alabama Jobs Act, #2016-321, states the definition of an Enterprise Zone should be that as described by Section 40-18-376. 1(a), Code of Alabama,1975.
The Alabama Incentives Modernization Act, Act #2019-392, amended Section 40-18-376. 1(a) to describe an Enterprise Zone as any targeted or jumpstart county. A targeted county means any Alabama county that has a population of 60,000 or less.
A jumpstart county means any Alabama county: 1) that does not qualify as a targeted county; 2) that has experienced negative population growth over the last five years; and 3) contains no more than two Opportunity Zones as they existed on June 1, 2019.
Notwithstanding any other agreement or law to the contrary, any eligible businesses that received an approved application from ADECA prior to October 1, 2016, shall continue to receive those exemptions for the period of time specified in those agreements.
