Gov. Jared Polis

This complete approval is a major milestone for economic growth in Colorado. Successful designation of our new opportunity zones now has the potential to generate over $4 billion in investments in some of our Colorado communities that need it the most, improving infrastructure, building new housing and manufacturing and growing businesses across the state.

Eve Lieberman, OEDIT

We are delighted to have the Treasury Department approve all of the 91 Governor-nominated Opportunity Zones, a true testament to the months of locally-informed collaboration that shaped our submission. By targeting long-term investment opportunities from rural communities to urban centers, these zones will boost the success of our communities, businesses, workers and the families who call this state home.

Still missing

  • No criticism of the designations, and no investor response, appeared in that story.
  • How the over $4 billion estimate was calculated was not shown. Polis described it as potential.
