Citrus Heights Nominated for Three Opportunity Zones to Attract Investment
The City Council adopted a resolution supporting the nomination of three eligible Citrus Heights census tracks for Opportunity Zone 2.0 designation. Opportunity Zones offer federal income tax incentives for investments in distressed communities. The nomination process involves local submission to the state, followed by the governor's recommendation to the U.S. Treasury. The three nominated census tracks are: 1) Sunrise Marketplace, including Sunrise Mall and surrounding commercial areas, aligning with the Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan; 2) Stock Ranch and surrounding commercial/employment areas (City Hall, Sam's Club, Safeway Shopping Center); and 3) the Greenback and Auburn area on the west side, including a commercial shopping center with a Grocery Outlet and Pico. The designation is seen as a tool to attract private investment and enhance the city's competitiveness for development.
