"Opportunity Zones continue to provide unmatched economic opportunities across the United States, especially to revitalize the economy and distressed communities," said Ali Jahangiri, CEO of OpportunityZone.com. "By providing tax incentives, Opportunity Zones are benefiting both investors, funds, and thousands of residents in local communities that will reap the benefits of revitalization, business investment, and jobs. The zones are a win-win for everyone involved, and our expo brings the key players in the industry together to make it happen."
"In addition, our newest feature – America's Top Project - is drawing a lot of attention of developers who want to share their project vision to compete for the coveted title. The competition is spurring economic development in Opportunity Zones while recognizing the most innovative and successful projects."
Headquartered in California, the Opportunity Zone Magazine and OpportunityZone.com provides powerful tools for industry leaders about beneficial tax incentives through the Opportunity Zone community development program established by Congress under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Specifically created within the act are Opportunity Zones, which are low-income communities that are attractive for investment because they offer tax incentives to investors. There are 8,700 zones in all 50 U.S. states, five territories, and Washington, D.C.
