Delaware Opens Nominations for New Opportunity Zone Areas

The Delaware Division of Small Business has rolled out a digital nomination system that enables business leaders, investors, and local officials to recommend Census Tracts for inclusion in the state’s Opportunity Zone 2.0 initiative.

The new web-based platform was unveiled in collaboration with Delaware Governor Matt Meyer, targeting economic development specialists, investment professionals, and government representatives who can identify areas suitable for the expanded program.

This nomination process represents the state’s effort to broaden participation in opportunity zone designations, allowing stakeholders to directly influence which communities could benefit from the tax incentive program designed to spur economic development in underserved areas.
