Overview

What it does.

Chester is a participating unit of government, but eligibility is parcel-specific and benefit-specific. The local zone administrator must confirm the address and issue required certificates before purchases or other qualifying activity.

Best for: A Chester commercial renovation, construction, or qualifying industrial investment located inside the mapped zone.

Eligibility

Who and what may qualify.

Eligible applicants

  • Businesses and project owners with qualifying activity at an address inside the designated zone boundary

Applicants excluded by the source

  • Projects outside the mapped zone or failing the applicable investment and certification rules

Eligible uses

  • Qualifying building materials
  • Certain qualifying manufacturing or pollution-control property
  • Other state and local incentives applicable to the certified project

Application

How to start.

  1. Contact the Monroe-Randolph County Enterprise Zone administrator before purchasing building materials or beginning the project.
  2. Confirm that the exact project address is within the zone.
  3. Submit the local application and obtain required certification before claiming an exemption.

Timing: Certification must occur at the required stage before exempt purchases or claims.

Planning notes

Limits to account for.

  • Participation by the City does not make every Chester address eligible.
  • Benefits require advance certification and vary by project type.

Coordinate Enterprise Zone, EDGE, construction-jobs credits, and local incentives before project commitment.
