EMPLOYER QUALIFICATIONS
To qualify for the MJCIP, an employer must:
1.Generate a minimum of $24,000 in construction sales tax revenues (approximately equal to a
$1 million construction cost investment) in Marana; and
2.Create at least 10 new, permanent, non-construction jobs in Marana which pay at least $40,000
annually; and
3.Be a non-retail enterprise.
ADMINISTRATION
The MJCIP reallocates construction sales tax revenues received from a new construction or expansion project and
makes them available for reimbursement to a qualifying employer. A participating employer must track and document
construction sales taxes paid in association with its project. Funding available for reimbursement is limited to the amount
collected in construction sales tax revenues by the Town of Marana from an individual project. Reimbursement requests
must be made to the Town within three years of issuance of Certificate of Occupancy for the new or renovated structure.
All program elements operate on a reimbursement basis. Documentation of allowable expenses must be submitted to the
Town in order to receive reimbursement.
The goal of the Marana Job Creation Incentive Program (MJCIP) is to stimulate the development of sustainable,
career-oriented, head-of-household wage jobs and commerce in Marana. The program is designed to encourage both
new business attraction and existing business expansion, and meet the objectives set forth in the Marana Strategic Plan.
