Nomination process

The lead agency has been identified, but no public process has been published yet. Contact information is below. See how to advocate for what to do while the process develops.

As of May 7, 2026, Nevada GOED has not published an OZ 2.0 nomination process or community input mechanism; GOED’s dedicated OZ page redirects to a general incentives page with no OZ-specific content, and the Department of Business & Industry OZ page addresses OZ 1.0 only. Call GOED at (800) 336-1600 today, ask for the economic development team, introduce your jurisdiction’s eligible tracts, and request to be added to any OZ 2.0 outreach list — also ask whether a community input process is planned before the July 1, 2026 federal nomination window. Check GOED’s notices and agendas page (goed.nv.gov/notices-agendas/) for any board agenda item referencing OZ 2.0.

Eligible tracts with CRA designation (LMI or distressed/underserved)

Banks earn CRA credit for investing in low- or moderate-income tracts (Track 1), and in non-metropolitan middle-income tracts officially designated distressed or underserved by FFIEC (Track 2). When an OZ project sits in a CRA-eligible tract, bank capital can satisfy CRA obligations while generating OZ tax benefits. How CRA and OZ interact →

Eligible tracts in top investability quintile (Urban Institute model)

The Urban Institute investability model scores OZ-eligible tracts by predicted likelihood of attracting private capital, based on OZ 1.0 investment patterns. Quintile 1 = highest predicted investability among scored tracts. Not all tracts are scored — coverage reflects tracts with sufficient OZ 1.0 data.
