The Economic Development Administration (EDA) issued four grants worth $1,738,152 in 2020 to fund economic development projects through opportunity zones in New Hampshire.

According to the Internal Revenue Service, opportunity zones were added to the tax code under The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The bill has come under some criticism for creating another big tax break for the ultra-wealthy.

The Rockingham Economic Development Corporation (REDC) received the largest EDA grant for funding an economic development project in the state.
