  The Kearny Enterprise Zone Development Corporation (KEZDC) was established to administer the programs and projects of the Urban Enterprise Zone initiative. It is also charged with developing a viable Redevelopment Plan for the Zone. The mission of the KEZDC is to increase employment opportunities, encourage capital investment, stimulate economic zone development and foster a climate of stability and growth in the business community. Their efforts increase the Town's Tax Base, thereby, decreasing the burden placed on the property taxpayer.
