Kemah City Council voted unanimously on June 17 to seek state and federal support to designate large areas between FM 2094 and FM 518 as a Qualified Opportunity Zone — city documents note between one-third and one-half of Kemah's land could qualify. Leaders hope OZ status will draw private capital and capital-gains-deferred investment to the Houston-area city. Texas can nominate about a quarter of its roughly 2,420 eligible tracts.
