New Mexico has selected 65 census tracts across 22 counties for federal Opportunity Zone nominations, the governor’s office announced. More than half of the selected tracts are rural. The nominations have been sent to the U.S. Treasury; the state’s announcement does not establish final federal designation.
The state says the selections include eight tracts containing portions of tribal areas. Bernalillo County has the largest number, followed by McKinley County. The official release links to the nominated areas and explains the state’s selection process. Project-level eligibility requires separate review.
