    April 10, 2019

    (AKRON, Ohio)—Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced that his proposed budget for the 2020-2021 biennium will include a state tax incentive to attract more investment to Ohio’s “Opportunity Zones.”

    Governor DeWine made the announcement during a business roundtable event organized by the University of Akron.

    The Opportunity Zone program, which was created by federal legislation in 2017, provides federal tax incentives for investments in low-income census tracts that have been designated as Opportunity Zones.
