    About Maryland Opportunity Zones

    Maryland has 149 designated Qualified Opportunity Zones across 19 jurisdictions, with the largest concentrations in Baltimore City, Prince George's County, and Baltimore County. Maryland's OZ program is heavily shaped by Baltimore, which contains the single largest urban OZ footprint in the Mid-Atlantic, spanning neighborhoods across West Baltimore, East Baltimore, and the industrial waterfront.

    Baltimore's OZs have attracted significant Qualified Opportunity Fund investment in multifamily housing, adaptive reuse of historic industrial buildings, and mixed-use projects in neighborhoods like Pigtown, Reservoir Hill, and Port Covington. Prince George's County's zones, adjacent to Washington DC, offer a different dynamic, infill housing and mixed-use development driven by Metro proximity and spillover demand from the DC market. Maryland's eastern shore and western rural counties round out the state's OZ geography.

    All OZ 1.0 designations remain in effect through December 31, 2028. Maryland's proximity to Washington DC, strong anchor institutions, and federal government employment base provide durable demand drivers for OZ investments across the state.
