Ever wonder what Opportunity Zones are? Fremont has two of them. Learn more here.

The new federal Opportunity Zones program is one of the most substantial pieces of legislation targeting community revitalization and economic development in America’s lowest income communities today. However, the program is still in its infancy, leaving state and local governments, foundations, advocates, and private sector professionals with many questions about its implementation and operation across America’s 55 territories and states.

This LINK will take you to a recorded webinar addressing the Opportunity Zones program’s economic context and incentives, as well as policies and practices needed by stakeholders to achieve equitable development outcomes.
