Opportunity Zones
Linkages, Goals & Priorities
The economic benefits that new and innovative investments bring to communities are significant. Without robust economic development, local communities cannot meet the needs of their residents or remain competitive in an increasingly changing national and global economy. This program encourages public and private investment in urban and economically distressed communities, including Opportunity Zones, to focus on benefitting diverse segments of the population by incentivizing investments in underserved areas, and by supplementing that investment with targeted Federal resources. Linkages to other governmental initiative can allow developers and potential investors to identify, use, and administer Federal resources in these communities focus on stimulating greater investment in Opportunity Zones through the enhancement of existing State and local economic development efforts and through the coordination of Federal, State, and local resources.
