Opportunity Zones

Opportunity Zones encourage private investment in designated communities by offering favorable tax treatment for qualifying investments made through Qualified Opportunity Funds. For developers, investors, lenders, fund managers, and business owners, these incentives can help support new development, business expansion, and redevelopment projects while complementing other available financing tools.

Opportunity Zone investments can often be combined with federal, state, and local economic development incentives to help reduce project costs and improve project feasibility.
