With New Jersey’s legalization of recreational marijuana, how will that impact a cannabis business in an Opportunity Zone?

Can I legally create a QOZB now in this industry in this state?

    Our firm's position is that cannabis is OK for the QOZ program, but that is probably not the position of every firm.

    Without doing research, I remember a prohibition on “sin” businesses in Opportunity Zones, such as gaming, alcohol, and probably cannabis. You should do some research.
