The "Rural Jobs Zone" is the area comprised of low-income communities that do not include: (1) a city or town with a population that exceeds 50,000, or (2) any urbanized area contiguous and adjacent to such a city or town. At least 25% of the investments made pursuant to the tax credits allocated by this bill must be in persistent poverty counties, high migration rural counties, or both.
