Selection process background

New Jersey OZ 2.0 Selection Process

New Jersey ran one of the most open nomination processes of the OZ 2.0 cycle. Governor Mikie Sherrill tasked the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) with a joint public engagement period that opened July 31, 2026. That window is now closed.

Official DCA language (recrawled August 31, 2026): "The stakeholder recommendation period for Opportunity Zone 2.0 closed at 11:59 p.m. on August 28, 2026. DCA is no longer accepting recommendations. Recommendations received during the stakeholder process will be reviewed together with technical analysis as part of the Governor's Opportunity Zone nomination process."

New Jersey has 516 census tracts eligible for OZ 2.0 designation under OBBBA's tightened low-income criteria, spanning 20 of the state's 21 counties. Under the 25% federal cap the governor may nominate up to 129 tracts — down from 169 OZ 1.0 zones designated in 2018. Eligible is not designated: no nomination results have been published. New designations take effect January 1, 2027.

Process timeline:

July 31, 2026: DCA and NJEDA opened the public recommendation period and published scoring priorities.
August 28, 2026, 11:59 p.m. ET: Stakeholder Recommendation Form closed. DCA is no longer accepting recommendations.
By September 28, 2026: New Jersey submits the governor's final nominations to the U.S. Treasury (a single 30-day extension is available through October 28, 2026 under IRS Rev. Proc. 2026-14).
January 1, 2027: Certified OZ 2.0 designations take effect.

How the state says it will choose: DCA and NJEDA will combine stakeholder input with technical analysis and prioritize (1) economic opportunity and investment potential — developable land near employment centers, transit, incentive zones, and energy infrastructure; (2) housing development capacity across the affordability spectrum near transit and jobs; and (3) economic need paired with evidence of real community engagement. The state has also committed to distributing zones throughout New Jersey rather than concentrating them in a handful of counties.

New Jersey census tracts list: Opportunity Zones by county

Every New Jersey census tract that is either on the OZ 2.0 eligibility list (516 tracts, IRS Rev. Proc. 2026-14 appendix) or inside a current (2018) Opportunity Zone, grouped by county. The CDFI Fund's designated list has 169 New Jersey tracts, numbered by the 2010 census. GEOIDs here are 2020-census tracts, so we matched the 2018 zones to 2020 tracts with the Census relationship file: they cover 183 2020 tracts fully and 8 partly (191 in this table). "Partly" means only part of the 2020 tract was in a 2018 zone (how we match).

Eligible is not designated. The governor can nominate up to 129 of these tracts (the 25% cap). The federal nomination window closed September 28, 2026 (New Jersey is using the extension to October 28), and certified OZ 2.0 designations take effect January 1, 2027. See which states have filed on the OZ 2.0 nomination tracker, check exact boundaries on the eligible-tract map, and read how to plan an OZ investment for January 2027.
