2018 Cycle: $14 Billion Generated 2020 Cycle: $150 Billion Targeted
2 Economic Development
What Through bipartisan action, the Opportunity Zone incentive was included in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The incentive could drive $100 billion into underserved communities.
We seek to level the playing field between the public and private sectors to steer capital toward investments that create community wealth.
The Model We create tools that every community can use. Our Opportunity Zone Investment Prospectus Toolkit is part marketing strategy, part economic development analysis, and part investment memorandum.
Technical Assistance We provide training, best practices, & financing charrettes – whatever it takes – to move from prospectus to truly inclusive investment, to build wealth in communities where there has been none.
