Research notes
UEZ is a tax / economic-development incentive program (reduced sales tax, employee tax credits, subsidized unemployment insurance), not a zoning preemption. Included for completeness because UEZ status materially affects development economics and is often referenced alongside zoning preemptions. Overlay carries no preempted_fields — evaluator returns applies: true but zero preemption effect. 32 designated UEZs as of 2026.
