Local Incentives

City of Morgantown New and Expanding Business Tax Credit

The City of Morgantown has adopted a New and Expanding Business Tax Credit for the Downtown District. This tax credit is meant to help spur development. New construction projects valued in excess of $5 million are eligible, if approved, to receive an 80% tax credit on the B&O tax for construction. New businesses that move into the district, if approved, can receive a tax credit of 80% the first year, 60% the second, 40% the third, 20% the fourth. The maximum total tax credit allowed is $300,000.

Opportunity Zones

The Opportunity Zone program seeks to provide incentives for a broad array of investors to pool and deploy their resources in specified areas. As the incentives are linked to the duration of the investor’s commitment to the Opportunity Zone rather than an upfront subsidy, the program provides an incentive for investors to reinvest their capital gains in Opportunity Funds to provide patient capital for low-income communities. Experts estimated as much as $6.1 trillion in unrealized capital gains resources that may be available to support this Opportunity Zone market.

Invest in Opportunity Zones

Qualified Opportunity Funds (QOF) are the investment vehicles used to invest in Opportunity Zones. Organized as corporations or partnerships, the fund account must hold at least 90% of its assets in designated Opportunity Zones.

Investors who are interested in investing in a potential Opportunity Zone may submit letters of interest. Please submit letters of interest to Pa**************@**.gov
