New Hampshire will select 25 of its 54 eligible census tracts for Opportunity Zone 2.0 nomination to the U.S. Treasury, and towns are now making their cases. In Conway, Town Planner Ryan O'Connor told selectmen the town has two eligible tracts — spanning areas eyed for housing and business development, including neighboring Chatham — but expects only one can realistically be chosen, forcing a local prioritization decision. The Mount Washington Valley deliberations are a window into the math facing small-state towns: with fewer than half of eligible tracts making the cut, the state-level selection is the whole game.
