The Town of Morristown established the Redevelopment Commission to ensure redevelopment in underutilized areas with barriers to development that are in the best social and economic interest of the Town of Morristown and its residents. This is done through techniques that can include real estate acquisition, site preparation, and/or providing public infrastructure to the site. These techniques can be funded using Tax-Increment Financing (TIF) that will benefit all taxable property within the boundaries of the Economic Development Area. A primary focus is the enhancement of the economic vitality of the Town of Morristown, the expansion of the tax base, and the creation of new jobs within the Town of Morristown.
