Zones of Possibility: Making OZ 2.0 Work for WV Industry
Description
With the federal Opportunity Zone (OZ) program permanently extended under the 2025 OBBBA legislation, West Virginia has a fresh chance to position its manufacturing sector at the heart of OZ 2.0. This session will break down the new nomination process, explain how rural incentives uniquely benefit West Virginia, and provide manufacturers with actionable strategies to prepare for designation, attract capital, and drive long-term industrial investment. Whether you're expanding operations, redeveloping a site, or seeking new funding avenues, this is your roadmap to making OZs work for your business and community.
