The Missouri Department of Economic Development recently approved Enhanced Enterprise Zone Program (EEZP) designation for the city of Joplin. The designation will allow city officials to continue to move forward in economic development efforts.

The Enhanced Enterprise Zone program was implemented in 2004. Enhanced enterprise zones are specified geographic areas designated by local governments and certified by the Department of Economic Development.

Zone designation is based on certain demographic criteria, the potential to create sustainable jobs in a targeted industry and a demonstrated impact on local cluster development.
