The City encourages commercial development within its Redevelopment Areas, which cover much of central and south Merced. Individually-tailored financial agreements are available in these areas. Some other areas in Merced are also within the Merced-Atwater Enterprise Zone, which offers certain state income tax benefits. The City also allows deferral of capital impact fees until time of occupancy, rather than upon issuance of building permit. It's probably good to start with the City's Economic Development Office.
Staff are knowledgeable in the area of industrial development.
Economic Development staff can serve as liaison with other City resources for you.
