Opportunity Zones are designated census tracts created by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 to encourage long-term investments in low-income urban and rural communities across the United States. The aim is to stimulate economic growth by offering tax incentives for investors who fund projects within these zones. Senator Crapo has been an advocate for policies that seek to boost economic development in his home state of Idaho as well as nationwide.
