Enterprise Zone Program
The Greeley/Weld Enterprise Zone (EZ) program is administered by Upstate Colorado Economic Development. If your business is locating or expanding within the boundaries of the EZ you may be eligible to earn a variety of state income tax credits. These credits can substantially reduce your Colorado income tax liability each year.
Upstate Colorado Economic Development also certifies and processes EZ state tax credits for contributions to approved, non-profit agencies/projects that play a role in implementing our economic development plan.
Upstate Colorado Economic Development is required to verify that businesses claiming EZ state income tax credits are located within the EZ boundaries and therefore eligible to claim EZ credits. Upstate Colorado Economic Development is also required to complete all mandated state reporting on EZ activity within the Greeley/Weld zone.
Contact the Upstate Colorado Economic Development office to verify that your business is located within the EZ. Upstate Colorado Economic Development staff can also assist you in determining whether (and when) your business circumstances permit credits to be claimed, further explain the tax credits, and provide additional program information.
