Enterprise Zone

Moving to the Enterprise Zone
An Enterprise Zone is a designated area which the City has designated thru State Law to be ideal for certain types of economic development. Generally speaking Enterprise Zones are larger areas more geared toward mid-level to heavy-industrial development. However, any sized business located within a designated Enterprise Zone is eligible for the same incentives.
​
Unlike TIF, Enterprise Zones don’t generate funds from taxes to facilitate development improvements.  Incentives in Enterprise Zones are designed to reduce the up front costs of a project by waiving certain fees and authorizing tax abatements.  ​

Forms

​We understand that running a business is already complicated enough without the hassle of tracking down information on what incentives qualify for which projects. That's why we've tried to break down Danville's available Incentive Programs to their bare bones, so you can spend more time on your business and less time searching for something that might not even be available in your area. We've created a simple economic incentives brochure to help guide you and, we are here to answer any questions that you may have on the enterprise zone or other programs.
