Erie County officials unveiled their Opportunity Zone 2.0 push on the county courthouse steps, positioning one of OZ 1.0's most-cited success stories to expand its footprint on the 2027 map. Officials framed the revamped program's transparency and long-term stability as tools to attract new investment and redevelopment across the county. The timing matters: Pennsylvania announced its nomination window will reopen August 17–21 (5 p.m. ET deadline) as the state works toward selecting 217 tracts from 866 eligible under the 25% federal cap, effective January 1, 2027.
