Opportunity Zones

Multiple Opportunity Zones are contained within the Four Corners region. They include downtown Farmington, known for its shopping, arts and culture. Industrial, commercial, residential and agricultural land across from U.S. Highway 550 in Bloomfield is also a designated Opportunity Zone. Businesses looking for agriculture and commercial space near the Navajo Agricultural Products Industry (NAPI) can do so by investing in Fruitland and Huerfano’s Opportunity Zones. All these Opportunity Zones are in growing communities.
