City of Lacey nominated for federal Opportunity Zones investment program
The JOLT News reports that Lacey's Midtown District could attract new private investment following the city's nomination for Opportunity Zones 2.0. Lacey announced its selection on October 12, after Governor Bob Ferguson chose 99 Washington communities from 152 applications. City officials see housing and commercial development in Midtown as part of building a future downtown center.
The nomination does not provide city funding or guarantee that investors will finance projects. At the time of the report, the selections awaited federal review and certification, with approved designations scheduled to begin January 1, 2027.
