ECD holding briefings on new Opportunity Zone program
The Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development is hitting the road next week for a series of briefings on the new federal Opportunity Zones that we discussed in this recent teknovation.biz article.
The program, authorized under the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” passed by Congress in late 2017, is designed as a tax incentive for investors to re-invest their unrealized capital gains into Opportunity Funds that are dedicated to investing in Opportunity Zones (O-Zones) designated by the chief executives of every U.S. state and territory.
