A vibrant small-town main street surrounded by green hills and a river
A new chapter for community investment

Opportunity Zones 2.0.
Better opportunities,
built together.

Calling economic development consultants, regional advisors, and community champions. Let’s turn OZ 2.0 potential into lasting community impact.

Local expertise. National collaboration. Shared impact.

Looking ahead to January 2027

The next era of Opportunity Zones starts with the relationships we build today.

The opportunity ahead

A designation is just
the beginning.

Opportunity Zones 2.0 are creating a new opportunity to expand your services, strengthen communities, and help attract private investment.

As January 2027 approaches, cities, towns, municipalities, and regional economic development organizations will need more than a designation.

They will need a strategy to turn those designations into investment-ready opportunities.

Your relationships. Our shared opportunity.
