Board authorizes nominations for Opportunity Zones 2.0, designates Community Development Director as designee
Summary
Siskiyou Economic Development Council presented a package nominating up to 12 census tracts for California’s Opportunity Zones 2.0 program; the Board adopted Resolution 26‑118 directing the Community Development Director to submit nominations and serve as the county designee.
The Siskiyou Economic Development Council (SEDC) asked the Board to nominate selected census tracts for consideration under California’s Opportunity Zones 2.0 program. SEDC Executive Director Tonya Dowse and Finance Director Jen Thackeray presented the county’s proposed list and a two‑page 'Development Finance Tools' document and recommended that the Community Development Department be authorized to submit the nomination.
Community Development Director Hailey Lang said staff are coordinating the nominations with the County’s General Plan update process. Board discussion covered the competitive nature of the state process and the potential for the state to select only a subset of nominated tracts. Supervisor Michael Kobseff moved to adopt Resolution 26‑118, Supervisor Jess Harris seconded, and the resolution was adopted by roll call with Valenzuela, Ogren, Kobseff, Harris and Haupt voting YES. Ms. Dowse told the Board she would return with updates as the application process proceeds.
