An enterprise zone is defined as an economically distressed area of Colorado in which special tax incentives are offered to businesses that expand or locate in the zone. The purpose of the tax incentives is to create new jobs and investments in the zone. The enterprise zone program was created by the Colorado legislature as of July 1, 1986. Since that time, Colorado has designated 16 areas as Colorado enterprise zones.

To determine if your business address is in an enterprise zone, go to the Colorado state map web page and type in the address and city and hit the "search" button. Your address is in the enterprise zone if the address marker is within the blue/green shading designating enterprise zone boundaries.
