Summary
Bozeman will ask the governor to designate Census Tract 6 (midtown/northeast) as an Opportunity Zone, unlocking federal capital-gains tax incentives for investors.

Impact analysis
No direct city cost; potential expanded tax base if private investment materializes, but no guaranteed local benefit.
Investors and potentially developers of difficult infill sites like the Idaho Pole yard; landowners see immediate property value gains.
Residents of the tract face potential gentrification and displacement with limited Montana tenant protections and no local off-ramp.
