This Client Alert focuses on the New Jersey Aspire Program, enacted as part of the ERA to provide tax credit incentives to developers to help close project financing gap costs associated with commercial, mixed use, and residential real estate development projects that could otherwise prevent those projects from becoming a reality. The Aspire Act is poised to serve as the replacement program for the Economic Redevelopment & Growth (ERG) Program.
