Idaho's Economic Advisory Council recommended 25 census tracts for Opportunity Zone 2.0 designation out of 36 submitted by cities and counties, with the top three ranked tracts all in Boise. The rankings weighed likelihood of investment using Urban Institute data, prioritizing downtown and Main Street revitalization, housing development, and commercial-industrial growth corridors, per state Commerce Rural Services Manager Jerry Miller. Governor Brad Little makes the final call before Idaho's submission to Treasury by the September 28 federal deadline.
