What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Governor Bob Ferguson selected seven neighborhoods in Spokane for the federal Opportunity Zones 2.0 program. This initiative is designed to incentivize investment in low-income communities by providing tax benefits for investors. The city nominated nine census tracks, and seven were selected, including areas downtown and in East Central. The U.S. Treasury must certify these tracts by December 27, and the program will begin January 1 of next year.
