LERTA
The Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance Program is a way to encourage owner-driven redevelopment and new construction in designated areas of the Municipality through the use of a graduated tax abatement schedule where the increase in property taxes are gradually introduced over a period of ten years. This program has been used in projects like The Luxor Lifestyle complex, a $27 million development, on Sandy Hill Road that brought 157 new apartments to the Municipality in 2017.
