Ubicaciones de la zona empresarial

Maryland's Enterprise Zone (EZ) program provides real property and state income tax credits for businesses located in a Maryland enterprise zone in return for job creation and investments. No todas las empresas que se encuentran en la zona empresarial son elegibles para recibir créditos fiscales del estado de Maryland o beneficios del programa SEED. In order to qualify, the business must be certified by the local enterprise zone administrators as eligible for benefits.
