Perth Amboy nominated for federal Opportunity Zone designation

PERTH AMBOY – The city has been nominated for designation as a federal Opportunity Zone, a move officials say could attract private investment in local businesses, housing and neighborhood redevelopment. Gov. Mikie Sherrill submitted 130 New Jersey census tracts for federal designation, the maximum allowed under federal law. The recommendations were submitted to the U.S. Department of the Treasury and are not yet final. The Opportunity Zone program provides tax incentives to qualifying private investors who make long-term investments in designated low-income census tracts. Investments may support commercial properties, eligible businesses and housing developments. “Perth Amboy has tremendous potential, and this nomination gives us another opportunity to build on the investment and redevelopment already taking place across our city,” Mayor Helmin J. Caba said. The state selected the nominated tracts after a four-month outreach process involving counties and eligible municipalities. Officials considered community priorities, investment readiness, housing access, transit-oriented development and the risk of displacement. The city will wait for federal action before identifying which properties could qualify under a final designation.
