A
s Opportunity Zones are providing unprecedented economic
development across the United States, we are pleased to present our
Opportunity Zone Magazine, the county’s first publication focused on
this exciting market.
In this inaugural edition, we are honored to recognize who’s who in this
industry with our distinguished Top 25 Opportunity Zone Influencers awards
in five categories: attorneys, fund managers/developers, tax specialists, policy
influencers and Opportunity Zone professionals in Specialized fields. We hope
these listings of the industry’s leading and most influential professionals will
serve as a guide as well as a celebration of the key players, who inspire and lead
though their vision and accomplishments.
We are also proud to present you with a powerful range of articles where
leading professionals are sharing cutting-edge insights, trends and legislative
analyses about this beneficial federal tax incentive program. This issue
highlights Opportunity Zone fund structures, common misconceptions,
social impact investments, triple bottom line investing and how local
communities can get involved. We also have an exclusive interview with
Scott Turner, Executive Director of the White House Opportunity and
Revitalization Council.
Opportunity Zones, which are located in all 50 states as well as Washington,
D.C. and Puerto Rico, are the newest frontier of American investment.
Investors, developers and all others involved in making projects happen are
providing much-needed jobs and financial boosts to underserved communities,
while at the same time offering beneficial tax savings to investors. Thousands
of local communities will reap the benefits of this revitalization, growth
and economic development. It’s truly a win-win for everyone involved. U.S.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has predicted that more than $100 billion
could be invested in Opportunity Zones.
With this in mind, we are excited to lead the way with our magazine, events
and vision of celebrating a powerful investment program that stimulates
distressed communities while providing beneficial tax incentives.
Sincerely,
Printed in the U.S.A.
