*Opportunity Zones, similar to Enterprise Zones, are designated geographic areas which suffer from economic distress. In order for an area to be designated as an OZ, under the DCA rules the area first has to be an Enterprise Zone or have an Urban Redevelopment Plan in place pursuant to the DOA website (http://www.dca.ga.gov/economic/DevelopmentTools/programs/opportunityZones.asp). Augusta Opportunity Zones are geographically identical to their Enterprise Zones.
