KOZ Opportunity Zones
A KOZ is limited to areas with
greatly reduced or no tax burdens for residents, as well as
businesses. The State of Pennsylvania designates these zones.
Pennsylvania has designated twelve Keystone Opportunity Zones
since enactment of the program in 1999.
More specifically, a KOZ is a partnership between each community
and region among state and local taxing bodies, school
districts, economic development agencies, and community-based
organizations. KOZ status can last for no more than twelve
years. In Union County, 440 acres of the Great Stream Commons
business park has been granted KOZ status.
