KXLY reports that Governor Bob Ferguson nominated 99 Washington communities for the federal Opportunity Zones 2.0 program on October 8. The selection drew from 152 applications and includes 36 rural communities. The program is intended to draw private funding into businesses and real estate through tax incentives.

The report also highlights Washington developments associated with the earlier program, including the 161-unit Koz on MLK in Tacoma and Bremerton's 270-unit Marina Square. It describes Spokane's Peyton Lofts as a planned conversion of an older office building into 96 homes by 2027.

## 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?
