Additionally, a portion of funds must be allocated to modern agriculture.
Key points
Opportunity zone funds must establish local advisory boards to better serve communities.
At least 30% of investments must go to smaller communities, and 50% to businesses owned by women or disadvantaged individuals.
In residential projects within opportunity zones, at least 20% of units must be affordable for low-income individuals.
A minimum of 5% of investments must be directed towards controlled-environment agriculture, using advanced technology.
Funds will be required to assess and report on the impact of their investments on different racial and ethnic groups within the zones.
