Wyoming's Opportunity Zones 2.0 Working Group, convened by Governor Mark Gordon, will host a public webinar on July 14 (noon to 1 p.m. MDT, via Zoom) to walk stakeholders through the differences between the legacy OZ 1.0 program and the new OZ 2.0 framework and to gather input on the state's census-tract selections. The session, led by Connor Christensen of the Wyoming Business Council and Seth Ulvestad from the governor's office, targets county commissioners, mayors, tribal leaders, economic developers, and project sponsors, and will cover the tightened federal income thresholds, the enhanced rural incentive, and infrastructure data collection. It lands as the federal nomination window opens July 1, with states' recommendations due to the U.S. Treasury by September 28, 2026.
