The Enterprise Zone (EZ) program is designed to promote job creation, business growth, and development opportunities in areas of the Jefferson County targeted for economic stimulation. ​ Businesses locating within the Jefferson County EZ may be eligible for one or several of the below state income tax credits related for qualifying investments made. ​ Prior to each income tax year, a business located in an EZ must apply and be pre-certified prior to beginning an activity to earn any of the business tax credits. ​ At the end of the income tax year, a business must certify that the activities were performed.

Jeffco EDC serves as the Enterprise Zone Administrator for Jefferson County, managing and marketing the program on behalf of the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade. (OEDIT).
