Lacey Nominated for Federal Opportunity Zones Program
The City of Lacey announced its selection among Washington's 99 nominations for the next federal Opportunity Zone program. In a city statement published by ThurstonTalk, officials linked the nomination to plans for private investment in the Midtown District, including housing, commercial activity and employment.
The city explicitly noted that nomination does not provide or guarantee funding. Treasury review remained part of the process, with final designations expected to begin January 1, 2027. Washington selected the nominations from 152 applications, according to the announcement.
