Your Business in Urbana

The City of Urbana is an excellent place to live, work and do business.

The Urbana Economic Development Division administers several programs aimed at attracting new businesses as well as retaining and improving existing Urbana businesses.

These programs include economic incentives in the form of grants, redevelopment assistance, provision of market information, and guidance through the development process.

We are customer service oriented and look forward to assisting you by helping you find the right building, land, workforce, training, or anything else you need to be successful in Urbana.

Please review our Economic Development Incentive Programs to determine what is the best fit for your business or project. If you have an interest in incentives or would like more information, please contact one of the members of the Economic Development Division listed below.

Most of our incentives are funded through the Urbana Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Districts. Follow the link to learn more about TIF.

Additional incentives are offered through the Urbana Enterprise Zone. Please note that there will be revisions to our program in the coming months in response to recent changes in state law.
