Partner Drew Kervick will be speaking on a panel at the fifth annual White + Burke Vermont Development Conference on Thursday, November 15. Drew will be speaking about Opportunity Zones, a new community development tool to encourage long-term investment in low-income and rural communities.
The Opportunity Zones incentive, which we have written about in other blog posts, offers significant economic benefits to investors who reinvest capital gains in qualifying businesses and development projects in eligible parts of the State.
Drew will speak to developers, non-profits, community development organizations, project investors and lenders, among others, providing an overview of where Vermont’s opportunity zones are located, addressing some of the potential pitfalls and limitations of the program, and reviewing how opportunity zone funding can be incorporated into the financing of a development project.
