Opportunity Zones offer a new economic development tool that promotes investment in distressed census tracts through legislation enacted by the Federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. There are over 8,700 census tracts across the United States that have been designated as Opportunity Zones by the U.S. Department of Treasury, incentivizing investments in business growth, housing improvements, and infrastructure, and Richmond is fortunate to have two.
