Novogradac Launches Opportunity Zone Resource Center
SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) February 05, 2018 -- Opportunity Zones have a home on the Internet.
News, information and guidance on the new community development tool–launched as part of tax reform legislation passed by Congress and signed by President Donald Trump–are now at http://www.opportunityzoneresourcecenter.com, a site offered by leading certified public accounting and tax consulting firm Novogradac & Company LLP.
Opportunity Zones will provide investment opportunities in low-income areas in which about 30 million Americans reside, beginning this year.
“Opportunity Zones have the potential to make a huge impact on community development in America, but this is a new program and it’s sometimes difficult to find details,” said Michael J. Novogradac, managing partner in Novogradac & Company LLP’s San Francisco headquarters. “Our resource center will gather information and analysis in one easily navigated location, so practitioners can research and keep informed on what they need to know.”
Novogradac & Company LLP already has specific resource centers with information on the low- income housing tax credit (LIHTC), historic tax credit (HTC), new markets tax credit (NMTC), renewable energy tax credits, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) and tax reform. Each resource center is linked to Novogradac’s main site, http://www.novoco.com.
The Opportunity Zone Resource Center will be regularly updated in coming months as Opportunity Zones are identified by governors, qualified Opportunity Funds are certified by the Treasury Department, rules and guidance are developed and more. In addition, the Opportunity Zone Resource Center will provide links to legislation, commentary and any other information concerning the new federal program.
