About Connecticut Opportunity Zones

Connecticut has 72 designated Qualified Opportunity Zones across all 8 counties, concentrated heavily in its urban centers, Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford, Waterbury, and New London. Connecticut's OZ landscape reflects the state's economic duality: highly affluent suburbs alongside legacy industrial cities that have experienced decades of disinvestment.

Investment activity has been most notable in New Haven, where proximity to Yale University drives demand for housing and mixed-use development, and in Bridgeport, which has seen renewed interest in waterfront and transit-adjacent redevelopment. Hartford's OZs present opportunities in workforce housing and commercial repositioning in a market with strong state government and insurance industry employment. Connecticut's OZ program benefits from the state's dense population, Amtrak and Metro-North rail access, and proximity to New York City.

All OZ 1.0 designations remain in effect through December 31, 2028. Connecticut's urban core markets offer compelling value relative to comparable neighborhoods across the border in New York.
