The Town of Berthoud Enterprise Zone

Colorado's Urban and Rural Enterprise Zone of 1986 established a program for the designation of state enterprise zones. State enterprise zones were created to offer tax incentives for private enterprise to expand or new businesses to locate in economically distressed areas. The Town of Berthoud's Enterprise Zone was created in June 25, 1993.
