Colorado Opportunity Zone Program May 2026 Program Update and Release of Public Engagement Tools

OEDIT is actively seeking public input on which OZ 2.0 eligible census tracts should be nominated for official OZ 2.0 status. To engage in this process, please review the following tools: OZ 2.0 Designation Input Form(opens in new window): The Input Form allows all interested parties, including economic developers, local governments, business and community leaders, and members of the public, to advocate for which OZ 2.0 eligible census tracts should be nominated for OZ 2.0 status. Submissions are due by June 30, 2026. OZ 2.0 Designation Index (XLSX)(opens in new window): The Index provides a preliminary score of all OZ eligible tracts based on three tiers of State Strategic Priorities: a tract's need and capacity for the creation of market-rate housing; economic need; and economic opportunity. OZ 2.0 Designation GIS Tool:(opens in new window) The GIS Tool offers the ability to visualize the eligible tracts on a GIS map, as well as additional layers representing the aforementioned tiers of State Strategic Priorities.

For support in navigating these tools or to ask any other designation process-related questions, please participate in one or more of the following Office Hours via Google Meet: Friday, June 5: 10 a.m.-11 a.m.(opens in new window) Wednesday, June 10: 2 p.m.-3 p.m.(opens in new window) Thursday, June 18: 12 p.m.-1 p.m.(opens in new window) Thursday, June 25: 9 a.m. - 10 a.m. (opens in new window)

OEDIT understands that the OZ 2.0 Designation Index, which provides an analysis of the OZ 2.0 eligible census tracts using indicators of economic distress and opportunity, cannot provide a full or accurate picture of what is happening on the ground in our communities. As such, we are relying on the input of local leaders and community members to help fill in the gaps and correct any limitations in our preliminary analysis. Please provide…
