Business Development Incentives Policy #C09-014
The purpose of the policy is to encourage companies to locate or expand their operations in Saskatoon, create new employment opportunities, place Saskatoon in a competitive position in attracting businesses that it would not otherwise occupy, increase the long-term viability of a project and/or demonstrate the city's commitment to a business or industry.

Municipal Enterprise Zone Policy #A09-031
The City of Saskatoon Municipal Enterprise Zone Policy provides financial incentives to encourage economic development in seven neighbourhoods and two industrial areas of Saskatoon. The policy, available for business or residential use, focuses on areas that may be at risk of falling further behind the rest of the city with respect to income, job creation, economic opportunity, property value and some essential commercial services.
Programs offered are designed to encourage targeted businesses to locate or expand their operations in order to create more economic activity. They are also intended to encourage property owners and developers to invest in renovation, expansion or creation of new housing, increase consumer and investor confidence, and demonstrate the city's commitment to improving conditions within the zone. The boundary of the zone includes the following neighbourhoods:
- Riversdale
- Mayfair
- Kelsey-Woodlawn
- Westmount
- Caswell Hill
- Pleasant Hill
- King George
- West Industrial
