Background:
body
The County has been asked by FloridaCommerce to submit an Opportunity Zone Census Tract Recommendation identifying eligible census tracts for potential designation under the federal Opportunity Zones 2.0 program. This program is intended to attract private investment through federal tax incentives to the County. The application is due by May 1. Please note that no signature is required for the recommendation. This action would not obligate the County to any funding, approvals, or agreements; it simply identifies priority areas for potential designation, identified by the State. The recommendation will ultimately be reviewed by the Governor by July 2026.
