137 Census Tracts Across 76 Kentucky Counties Approved for Opportunity Zone 2.0 Designation, Effective January 1, 2027
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced on October 29 that 137 census tracts across 76 Kentucky counties have been approved for Opportunity Zone (OZ) 2.0 designation, with all of the tracts he recommended receiving approval.
The tracts are spread across the commonwealth in both rural and urban locations; Jefferson County has the most, with 18. The OZ program uses tax incentives to spur long-term economic development and job creation in overlooked communities, the governor's office said. The approved 2.0 tracts become active on January 1, 2027.
