NEw Jersey Economic Recovery Act

Governor Phil Murphy signed the New Jersey Economic Recovery Act of 2020 (ERA) into law on January 7, 2021. The ERA creates a package of tax incentive, financing, and grant programs that will address the ongoing economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and build a stronger, fairer New Jersey economy.

Programs outlined in the law include:

  • Tax credits to incentivize job creation and capital investment;
  • Investment tools to support and strengthen New Jersey’s innovation economy;
  • Tax credits to strengthen New Jersey’s communities including revitalization of brownfields and preservation of historic properties;
  • Financial resources for small businesses, including those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic;
  • Support for new supermarkets and healthy food retailers in food desert communities;
  • Additional tax credits for film and digital media.
