The City of Republic, in partnership with Greene County has established the goal of creating jobs as a priority. To make our community more attractive to creating jobs, we have established an Enhance Enterprise Zone which offers the incentives of local real property tax abatement and state tax credits to new and expanding businesses that qualify.

Businesses must be located within the Enhanced Enterprise Zone boundaries (22,790 acres) in order to receive both local property tax abatement and state tax credits.
