Mayor Jose "joey" Torres

A personal invitation to business success

As Mayor of the third largest city in New Jersey, I am excited to introduce you to one of the most successful economic development initiatives in the history of New Jersey, the Urban Enterprise Zone (UEZ). One of my priorities as Mayor has been to increase the economic activity and create a more business-friendly environment in Paterson, and the Paterson UEZ has been a key component in the success of my strategy in transforming the economic landscape in Paterson. If you are unfamiliar with the depth and breadth of opportunities the Paterson UEZ offers to a business such as yours, I invite you to review our material and contact our staff, and I am sure you will see the value in joining the hundreds of other businesses who are benefiting every day from their membership in the Paterson UEZ. With a growing and diverse market, a skilled labor force, and prime location, let this great city work for you! If you are a business considering moving to Paterson, or if you are already a Paterson business, the Paterson UEZ program contains the perfect incentives to help take your business to the next level:

Getting plugged into the Zone - "The Paterson UEZ Network"

  • Tax-Exempt Business Purchases
  • 3½% Sales Tax
  • Business Improvement Grants
  • Main Street Facade Grants
  • Revolving Loans
  • Sidewalk Matching Grants

And let me also say that as CEO of this great City, I understand the importance of excellent customer service, and my staff is here to personally walk you through the no-cost and pain-free UEZ application process, where you can be signed up as a member in no time at all. I look forward to welcoming your business into the ranks of Paterson success stories.

Sincerely,

Jose "joey" Torres
Mayor
