The House has introduced a bill dubbed The Opportunity Zone Extension Act (H.R. 6513) that would extend the opportunity zone program from 2026 to 2030, allowing investors additional time to invest in qualifying communities.
The opportunity zones program, part of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, designates certain economically distressed communities and encourages private investment in those areas in exchange for potentially significant tax breaks, if the investment is held for an extended period.
