Opportunity Zone Related Incentives
Where investment incentives and hiring incentives overlap.
Overview
Opportunity Zones were designed to attract investment into specific communities. While the headline benefits are investment-related, employers operating in or near these areas frequently qualify for hiring and workforce incentives at the same time. The overlap is where most value hides.
Who qualifies
- Businesses operating within designated zones
- Employers hiring locally from those communities
- Companies investing in facilities inside a zone
How much is available
Benefits vary based on the structure of the investment and the related workforce programs available in that area.
Required documentation
- Zone verification for each location
- Investment and facility records
