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.

South Dakota GOED has not published a formal OZ 2.0 nomination process as of May 7, 2026; no application portal, scoring criteria, or community submission deadline has been announced. Visit sdgoed.com and use the general contact form or call the main GOED line to ask whether GOED will solicit community input before submitting nominations to the Governor ahead of the July 1, 2026 federal nomination window; bring a list of eligible tract GEOID codes and a concise economic-need narrative for any tracts your jurisdiction wants considered. Watch for a GOED news release in May or June 2026 — South Dakota must nominate at least 25 tracts (statutory minimum) from its pool of 52 eligible tracts, and 35 of those 52 are rural-designated, making early rural-community engagement particularly time-sensitive.

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.
