Pennsylvania Unveils Draft Opportunity Zones 2.0 Map
Bisnow reports that Pennsylvania released a draft map of census tracts under consideration for Opportunity Zones 2.0 before its October 28, 2026 nomination deadline. The proposal remained provisional and left ten slots available for possible additions. State nominations must still go through federal review.
The article describes a smaller overall footprint in Philadelphia, alongside additions in Southwest Philadelphia and proposed coverage near Upper Darby’s 69th Street transportation hub. Local officials and developers see potential for housing and redevelopment investment. Those possibilities depend on final designations and subsequent projects; the draft map itself does not establish eligibility for a particular investment.
Research considerations
Opportunity Zone coverage can include fund launches, development activity, fundraising, or policy changes. The underlying project and business plan matter alongside the tax framework. Separate the source’s reported development from assumptions about a particular fund or investor.
- Is this a policy update, a project announcement, or a fund-specific development?
- Which project milestones, financing needs, sponsor assumptions, and current legal requirements need further review?
