Introduction

Financial assistance can be provided for qualifying businesses. Most of Polk County is included in an Enhanced Enterprise Zone. Also two of the four county’s Census tracts were named Opportunity Zones in 2018. The city, county and the state may offer other incentives to qualifying businesses.

Polk County can offer eligible businesses local real property tax abatements if located within the designated Enhanced Enterprise Zone. Communities with designated zones can offer local incentives, as well as connect them with state incentives through the Missouri Works program (Zone Works category).
