Manning Applauds Lorain County for Being Named a Federal Opportunity Zone

State Representative Gayle Manning (R-Avon) is pleased to share that Governor Mike DeWine and the Ohio Department of Development recently announced that Lorain County was recognized as a federal Opportunity Zone.

“I’m excited to see the great impact this announcement will have on our community,” said Manning. “As your legislator, my goal is to make Ohio the best place to live, work, and raise a family. Opportunities like this help achieve that goal.”

The Opportunity Zones 2.0 program, taking effect January 1, 2027, will provide federal tax incentives to attract outside investment for housing development, business expansion, job creation, and community revitalization.
