Opportunity Zones are select census tracts in which businesses, equipment, and real property can receive investment through special funding. They allow investors to receive federal tax incentives by investing their capital gains into select communities known as Opportunity Zones using special investment vehicles called Opportunity Funds.

Opportunity Zones were added to the IRS tax code by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The City of Los Angeles has 193 Opportunity Zones approved in 13 Council Districts.
