Seven Spokane Census Tracts Receive Opportunity Zone Designations
Spokane announced that Governor Bob Ferguson selected seven of the city's nine nominated census tracts for Opportunity Zones 2.0. The selected areas include parts of downtown, East Central, Emerson/Garfield and West Central. The city said its nominations sought to connect earlier infrastructure and planning work with opportunities for private development.
An additional West Plains tract shared with Airway Heights was also selected. Despite the announcement's headline, federal certification was still pending: the city identified December 27, 2026 as Treasury's deadline. The new designation period is scheduled to begin January 1, 2027 and run for ten years.
