About ECUEA:

ast Chicago, Indiana has a diverse population of just over 29,000 and is a City of approximately 12 square miles in size. The State of Indiana granted the City of East Chicago the designation of Enterprise Zone in 1988.  With the new designation, the East Chicago Urban Enterprise Association Inc., (ECUEA) was created.

ECUEA is a private nonprofit 501 (c) 3 organization, incorporated under the laws of the State of Indiana.  The organization’s primary purpose is to implement and utilize the advantages and benefits of the “Enterprise Zone” designation.

The Enterprise Zone is designed to:

1. Stimulate reinvestment within the Zone;
2. Create jobs for Zone residents;
3. Promote a favorable climate for private sector and industrial investment in an economically distressed area.

Within the City, the Enterprise Zone constitutes almost four square miles of land which is a mixture of residential, commercial and industrial properties.  The Enterprise Zone program provides tax incentives and reduces impediments to economic development in the zone.

The advantage industries or family owned businesses receive by relocating to or expanding in the Enterprise Zone is reduced State of Indiana and Lake County, Indiana tax obligations.  For residents who both live and work in the Enterprise Zone there is a tax incentive available which will reduce their personal State tax liability.
