To be designated a Community of Opportunity - and mapped as such to the Maryland QAP Comprehensive Opportunity Maps - the community must have a Composite Opportunity Index that it is above the statewide average. See Section 3.1 of the Program Guide for more details. http://mdhousing.org/Website/Programs/rhf/documents/Guide.pdf Last Updated: 03/2016Feature Service Link:http://geodata.md.gov/imap/rest/services/BusinessEconomy/MD_HousingDesignatedAreas/FeatureServer/2 ADDITIONAL LICENSE TERMS: The Spatial Data and the information therein (collectively "the Data") is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind either expressed implied or statutory.

This service provides spatial data for all U.S. Decennial Census tracts designated as Qualified Opportunity Zones (QOZs) for purposes of §§ 1400Z–1 and 1400Z–2 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). Revenue Procedure 2018–16, 2018–9 I.R.B. 383, provided guidance to State CEOs on the eligibility criteria and procedure for making these nominations. Section 1400Z–1(b)(1)(B) of the Code provides that after the Secretary receives notice of the nominations, the Secretary may certify the nominations and designate the nominated tracts as Zones. Section 1400Z–2 of the Code allows the temporary deferral of inclusion in gross income for certain realized gains to the extent that corresponding amounts are timely invested in a qualified opportunity fund. Investments in a qualified opportunity fund may also be eligible for additional tax benefits.

Investors are able to defer paying taxes on capital gains that are invested in Qualified Opportunity Funds that in turn are invested in distressed communities designated as Opportunity Zones by the governor of each state. Census tracts 86, 87, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 110.01, 111.01 and 118 have been designated by the Washington State Department of Commerce as Opportunity Zones. This layer dissolves the aforementioned Census Tracts.

The interim Sustainable Communities designation will continue for a transition period and local governments will have the opportunity to apply for continued designation. The term of the transition period is as follows: Existing Designated Neighborhoods will automatically become Sustainable Communities effective June 1 - 2010. The designation will continue for a period of 24 months - during which time local governments will have the opportunity to apply for continued Sustainable Communities designation. Community Legacy Areas designated prior to January 1 - 2008 will become Sustainable Community for 24 months after June 1 - 2010. Existing Community Legacy Areas designated on or after January 1 - 2008 will be considered Sustainable Communities for a period of 36 months after June 1 - 2010. An application procedure is being developed for local governments to request continued Sustainable Communities designation beyond the transition period. The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) will begin accepting applications for Sustainable Communities in the Fall of 2010. Applications for Sustainable Communities designation will be reviewed by an interagency panel led by DHCD and must be approved by the Governor's Smart Growth Subcabinet. Once approved - newly designated Sustainable Communities (those that apply after June 1 - 2010) will retain their designation for a period of five years. Sustainable Communities also include designated Transit Oriented Development Zones (TOD's) and Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Zones. These areas are automatically considered Sustainable Communities effective June 1 - 2010 and do not need to reapply for continued designation. The first - second - and some of the thrid and fourth rounds have been updated.

Transit-oriented development (TOD) is an approach to land use planning and development which promotes the efficient use of land and transportation infrastructure. TODs are generally higher density developments comprising a mix of residential - office - commercial - and civic uses in a pedestrian friendly environment within walking distance of a transit center. In 2008 the Maryland legislature adopted a formal definition for TOD as a dense - mixed-use - deliberately planned development within a half-mile of transit stations that is designed to increase transit ridership"".
