THURSDAY: Have Opportunity Zones boosted the prospects of small businesses?
Next week, on Thursday October 29th, we’ll be releasing Unrealized Gains, which will take a close look at the impact of Opportunity Zones on small businesses—specifically the minority-owned and legacy businesses that form the social fabric of many neighborhoods in these areas. The Opportunity Zone tax incentive was conceived as a tool to promote economic development, job creation, poverty reduction, and support for new businesses in areas of concentrated poverty. After a couple of years of sizable investments flowing into these newly designated zones, we wanted to know: Are these investments supporting small business stability and growth, achieving the stated goal of place-based economic development and job creation in distressed communities? Join us on Thursday, October 29 at 3 p.m. Eastern to examine these findings with the report authors.
