It is not your parent's or grandparent's Plainfield.
Park Avenue is bustling, as are the Xth Street shops going up towards 22.
I don't know if the designation is applied, but it is an urban enterprise zone; lots of shops and many different countries are represented.

Ohhh explain that to me. Is that why so many shops and restaurants opened? Is it some sort of tax break?

It is actually, and there are benefits for sales tax and such:

The five UEZs are in: Bridgeton; Camden; Newark; Plainfield; Trenton.
State sales tax is exempted, among other benefits.

There are more than just those towns. Areas of Elizabeth, New Brunswick, Atlantic City and more are also UEZs
