The value of each tax credit for an eligible business shall be equal to $5,000 per year for a period of ten years for each new or retained full-time job determined by the authority pursuant to section 3 of P.L.2011, c.149 (C.34:1B-244) to be located at the qualified business facility, subject to the provisions of this section.

b.In addition to any grant of tax credits determined pursuant to subsection a. of this section, a bonus award of up to an additional $3,000 per job of the amount of the original tax credits may be made to any eligible business as determined by the authority. In making a bonus award to an eligible business, the authority shall consider the following factors, such that whether the business: (1) is an industry identified by the authority as desirable for the State to maintain or attract; (2) locates or relocates to a location within a qualified incentive area adjacent to, or within walking distance or short-distance-shuttle service of, a public transit facility, as determined by the authority, by regulation; (3) creates jobs using full-time employees in eligible positions whose annual salaries, according to the Department of Labor and Workforce Development, are greater than the average full-time salary in this State; or (4) is locating to a project site that is or has been negatively impacted by the approval of a "qualified business facility," as defined pursuant to section 2 of P.L.2007, c.346 (C.34:1B-208).

c.Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections a. and b. of this section, (1) the amount of tax credits available to be applied by the business annually shall not exceed the lesser of one tenth of the capital investment certified by the authority pursuant to section 6 of P.L.2011, c.149 (C.34:1B-247) or $4,000,000, and (2) the number of new full-time jobs for which a business receives a tax credit shall not exceed the number of retained full-time jobs for which a business receives a tax credit, unless the business qualifies by creating at least 100 new full-time jobs in an industry identified by the authority as desirable for the State to maintain or attract.
