Opportunity Zones

• There are several large parcels designated as Keystone Opportunity Zones in the Choice neighborhood along the Schuylkill River. Administered by Pennsylvania’s Department of Community and Economic Development, this program is designed to redevelop underutilized land and buildings into business districts and residential areas by providing state and local tax benefits. Portions of the Choice neighborhood also fall within two different Federal Opportunity Zones. The first set of these zones was approved in 2018. They are designed to spur economic development and job creation in distressed communities by providing tax advantages to those who invest in the zones.
