DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, June 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — OpportunityZones.com today announced the publication of The Opportunity Zones Playbook: Master the OZ Tax Incentive to Build Wealth, Fund Deals, and Create Impact, by Jimmy Atkinson, founder of OpportunityZones.com and host of The Opportunity Zones Podcast.

The First Complete Guide to OZ 2.0
With the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Opportunity Zones have been made a permanent feature of the US tax code and substantially updated. OZ 2.0 introduces redrawn eligibility maps, new rural incentives, expanded investment categories, and a reformed compliance framework. The Opportunity Zones Playbook is the first book written comprehensively for this new era. Written for investors with capital gains, fund sponsors and developers, and financial advisors, CPAs, and attorneys, it is the most thorough and up-to-date guide to the OZ program ever published.
Foreword by US Senator Tim Scott
US Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs and original cosponsor of the OZ legislation, wrote the foreword to The Opportunity Zones Playbook. Senator Scott writes: “This book tells the story of how Opportunity Zones work and why they matter. At its core, it reflects a larger mission: expanding access to the American Dream.”
