Panel: Beyond Opportunity Zones

In this panel, we provide a context and framework to understand place-based incentive programs for the real estate industry, like OZs, from their earliest days to now. Then we dive into the good, the bad, and the ugly with OZs. In conversation with experts on the ground, we learn about happened when OZ funding was actually deployed, discuss what the future looks like for this incentive and get a peek at a new generation of public incentives that could be inspired by OZs that are being created to meet the growing demands for affordable housing, job creation, and downtown revitalization across the United States.
