Could the next Scott's Addition be in South Richmond, Henrico or Chesterfield? Federal officials have approved 17 new Opportunity Zones across the region, offering the same tax incentives that helped finance Scott's Addition's building boom. Why it matters: The program has helped attract millions in private investment to targeted Richmond neighborhoods. Now a new slate of communities could get the same financial boost. State of play: The 17 new zones across Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield and Hanover are among 153 approved statewide, Gov. Spanberger announced Friday . They take effect Jan. 1, 2027. They'll join 22 tracts designated in the region in 2018. Tax benefits for those original zones, which include Scott's Addition, remain in effect through 2028. Zoom in: Richmond had 11 original zones and landed eight new ones, including Monroe Ward, Gilpin Court, areas around Virginia Union University and large stretches of South Richmond. Chesterfield's new zone is around Chesterfield Towne Center, where a major renovation is planned. Henrico's five zones include parts of Lakeside and East Highland Park, plus a large swath of eastern Henrico near the airport. In Hanover, one new zone includes part of Ashland. How it works: The federal program, created during President Trump's first
