Opportunity Zones spur economic development across Florida

There’s a new opportunity to grow economic development in Florida, and every county has a chance to drive investment.

Opportunity Zones provide tax incentives for investors with capital gains to invest in property or businesses in low-income communities. In Florida, every county has at least one Opportunity Zone. A community-driven approach is critical to ensure that Florida counties receive their fair share of investments.

Investors are already buying property for new developments. Small, growing businesses will have new access to additional capital. A strong local strategy for Opportunity Zones can be the key to increasing your community’s economy.
