Feenstra Announces Communities in 12 Counties in Iowa’s 4th Congressional District Newly Designated as Opportunity Zones for Economic Investment
HULL, IOWA – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) announced that communities in 12 counties in Iowa’s 4th Congressional District are newly designated as opportunity zones and thus eligible for economic investment.
These expanded designations were made possible by the Working Families Tax Cuts that Feenstra helped write and President Trump signed into law.
“I’m glad to announce that, thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts that I helped write, communities in 12 counties in our district, and an additional 19 counties statewide, are now newly designated as opportunity zones, which will help attract private investment and power economic growth in rural Iowa. Expanding opportunity zones in Iowa is an important way that we can create good jobs, invest in Main Street, and strengthen domestic manufacturing,” said Rep. Feenstra. “Republicans’ package of tax cuts prevented the largest tax increase on Iowa families, farmers, workers, and small businesses in history and instead delivered real tax relief for Iowans and enacted pro-growth provisions that benefit Iowa manufacturing and agriculture. This expansion of opportunity zones, especially in our rural communities, will grow our economy, encourage business investment, support Iowa agriculture, and strengthen our main streets.”
The counties in Iowa’s 4th Congressional District where communities were newly designated as opportunity zones include:
- Buena Vista County
- Calhoun County
- Cherokee County
- Crawford County
- Emmet County
- Hamilton County
- Ida County
- Marshall County
- Plymouth County
- Pocahontas County
- Shelby County
- Webster County
