The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act created new tax incentives for investments made in Opportunity Zones to spur economic development and job creation by encouraging long-term investment in low-income communities nationwide. Opportunity Zones are census tracts that were determined by state executives to be the most in need of private investment. The Opportunity Zone designation encourages investment by granting investors extensive federal tax advantages for using their capital to finance new projects and enterprises located within the Opportunity Zones.
Please join our diverse group of experts from the investment, research, and philanthropic sectors for the PD&R Quarterly/Stakeholder HUDdle event either in person at HUD headquarters or via webcast on June 20, 2019.
