In 2020, the New Jersey Legislature passed the Economic Recovery Act of 2020, which among other things created the Aspire Tax Credit Program, the successor to the Economic Redevelopment and Growth (ERG) Program, formerly the state’s main real estate development incentive program. As designed, Aspire would become New Jersey’s main real estate focused tax credit program, helping developers close financing gaps through the issuance of tax credits for eligible projects. Qualifying projects may be eligible for tax credits equaling between 50 and 80 percent of eligible project costs, with awards further limited to between $60 million and $400 million (per project or phase of a project), depending on multiple factors.
