The executive order could prompt some federal agencies, such as the Department of Labor and Department of Housing and Urban Development, to relocate their offices to designated census tracts under the federal opportunity zones program, The Real Deal reports.

All federal agencies will be asked to stop prioritizing city centers and central business districts when considering new offices and instead explore relocating to a designated opportunity zone.
