Understand the designation process
Start by separating eligible, nominated, and designated status, then review your state’s current process and guidance.
Prepare your community for Opportunity Zone 2.0.
Connect the designation process to community readiness, investor positioning, and a practical sequence of next actions rather than treating nomination as the finish line.
Assess community readiness
Use the existing Community Readiness Assessment to identify practical strengths, constraints, and priority actions.
Position for investment
Use community resources to frame how public priorities, infrastructure, and development pipeline affect investor readiness.
Track current developments
Stay current on state process updates and upcoming events without confusing preliminary activity with final designation.
Use verified information, then make the next decision.
