The Jessup Small Business Center consists of 132 developed acres, part of a 1,300-acre tract, developed by The Scranton Lackawanna Industrial Building Company (SLIBCO). Developed into a mixed-use business park, Jessup Small Business Center is located in the borough of Jessup, Pennsylvania.
Positioned in the center of the Boston-Washington corridor, the park sits on a scenic mountain ridge overlooking the Lackawanna River Valley. Park tenants enjoy breathtaking vistas, fully-developed sites and tax-free status through the park’s Keystone Opportunity Zone designations. Tenants located within the KOZ designation may receive PA state tax exemption through 2020, depending on the developed site.
In addition to the KOZ designation, the Jessup Small Business Center is designated as a Keystone Innovation Zone (KIZ) and qualify for tax abatements under the Opportunity Zone Program, a component of the Federal Tax Cuts and Job Act. For-profit businesses located within The TekRidge Center and the park, that are less than eight years old and operating within targeted industries are eligible for a tax credit through the KIZ program.
The Jessup Small Business Center is home to LBP Manufacturing and Bakkavör Group. In addition, SLIBCO owns and operates The TekRidge Center, an office and business incubator facility designed to support entrepreneurship, business development and job growth in Lackawanna County.
