What is the Enterprise Zone?

The Enterprise Zone program provides incentives for new and established businesses to locate and expand in economically distressed areas of the State.  Businesses in the Enterprise Zone may save thousands of dollars on their Colorado income tax bill each year for any or all of the following:

  • Making capital investments
  • Hiring new employees
  • Providing training for employees
  • Rehabilitating old buildings
  • Conducting Research & Development

Why do I care about the Enterprise Zone?

The El Paso County Enterprise Zone can turn the money you've been paying in taxes into working capital.  That’s thousands of dollars a business can save each year!  It’s about time you let the money you’ve been spending work for you!

Any business located in the Enterprise Zone is eligible to receive these tax credits!  Please look at the map below for Enterprise Zone areas.
