A Bisnow analysis reports that more than half of U.S. states have finished soliciting public input on their Opportunity Zone 2.0 nominations — meaning communities and developers hoping to influence the 2027–2036 map are running out of time. Governors must submit their proposed maps to the U.S. Treasury by the late-September federal deadline, and many states front-loaded their comment windows before and just after the July 1 opening. The takeaway for investors and local officials: the next OZ map is being locked in now, state by state, months before the January 1, 2027 effective date.
