Opportunity Zones are census tracts, consisting primarily of economically distressed communities, where new private investments may be eligible for preferential tax treatment under certain conditions.
The Opportunity Zone program, created as part of the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, allows investors to defer, reduce, or eliminate unrealized capital gains if they reinvest them in designated zones.
