SUMMARY:Opportunity Zones 2.0: Attracting Investment for Urban and Rural Community Development
DESCRIPTION:Beginning January 1\, 2027\, the Opportunity Zones 2.0 (OZ 2.0) program will designate a new set of communities and expand tax incentives for rural investment. But a designation alone doesn’t guarantee investment. How can community organizations\, local governments and developers identify viable projects and attract capital that meets local needs? \n\n\n\nDrawing on the work of the Chicagoland Opportunity Zones Consortium\, this webinar will cover how projects can pursue Opportunity Zone equity\, highlight examples of how it has been combined with other public and private financing and how to build partnerships with investors and community development financial institutions (CDFIs). It will also explore the new Qualified Rural Opportunity Funds and how rural communities can use them for housing\, business development and other local priorities. \n\n\n\nFeaturing: Robin Schabes\, Director\, Chicagoland Opportunity Zones Consortium\, Chicago Community Loan Fund \nRegister Here
