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

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
