About this file

This is an Affidavit of Eligibility Form for the Opportunity Zone Program, a federal initiative administered through the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District and supported by the State of Florida. The form is used to certify that a business's main office is located within designated Qualified Opportunity Zones in Orange, Osceola, Lake, Polk, or Seminole counties in Florida. Businesses meeting this location requirement are eligible to participate in the Opportunity Zone Program, which aims to foster economic development and job creation in economically distressed communities. The form requires submission of basic business information including the business name, main office address, and the county in which the main office is located, with the applicant's signature certifying compliance with the eligibility requirements.

The Opportunity Zone Program was established by the Federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 to encourage long-term capital investment from businesses, developers, and financial institutions in low-income census tract areas. This affidavit form is used when responding to solicitations related to contracting opportunities, such as the Parking Garage Operation Support Services contract opportunity for which Florida serves as the state jurisdiction. Eligible businesses located within the designated opportunity zones receive preference consideration in bidding and contracting participation. The program does not establish specific pricing terms or set-asides but rather creates eligibility criteria for businesses to qualify for consideration in state and local contracting opportunities.
