Understanding Opportunity Zones

Opportunity Zones are a fascinating initiative in the sphere of economic development. They present a unique approach to channeling private investment into distressed communities to drive economic growth and revitalization. But to fully comprehend their significance, we must explore their inception, purpose, and distribution. An Opportunity Zone is a census tract or an economically distressed community where new investments, under certain conditions, may be eligible for preferential tax treatment. These zones were introduced under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, signed into law by President Donald Trump in December 2017. This legislation aimed to provide a tax incentive for private sector investment in low-income urban and rural communities across the U.S.
