The Zone (NBEDZ)
The Zone (North Brevard Economic Development Zone) is a special dependent district under Florida law that seeks to provide financial and technical assistance to qualified firms considering a relocation or expansion in the northern part of Brevard County, Florida.
The Zone operates the following programs of assistance:
- Job Opportunity Program, for companies proposing to create a significant number of high-wage jobs in the area;
- Redevelopment Program, for companies and groups proposing to redevelop a vacant or blighted commercial and/or industrial site;
- Small Business Program, for companies proposing to make a significant capital investment in the area; and,
- Pad-Ready Development Program, to improve industrial property and make it suitable for new development.
In addition to these programs, the Zone also works on a series of “Strategic Initiatives,” also found in its Economic Development Plan, including marketing state incentives in combination with Zone assistance; identifying and seeking out infrastructure projects that will impact job creation and capital investment; redeveloping potential “Brownfield” sites; improving communications infrastructure; and improving workforce development.
