Opportunity Zone Forum

Opportunity Zones can deliver significant tax savings on medium to long-term investments in economically disadvantaged communities. This new tax incentive pertains to both the capital gains invested initially through a qualified opportunity fund, as well as capital gains earned for the investor from businesses or projects in a zone.

Who should attend?

Fund managers, investors, landowners, project developers and investment advisors who are looking to learn about regional opportunities and network in Yamhill and Polk counties.

Why attend:

·     Meet business owners and land developers who are seeking capital from Qualified Opportunity Zone Funds.

·     Meet managers of Qualified Opportunity Zone Investment Funds.

·     Meet investors who seek to place capital into a Qualified Opportunity Zone Fund.

SEDCOR has invited three experts on opportunity zones to explain what they how, how they work and where they are in Polk and Yamhill counties.
