Join us Thursday, October 10th, 2019 from 9am-4pm at the South Carolina Opportunity Zone Summit!

Opportunity Zones are a new community development program established by Congress as a part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, they are designed to encourage long-term private investments in low-income communities. This program provides a federal tax incentive for taxpayers who reinvest unrealized capital gains into “Opportunity Funds,” which are specialized vehicles dedicated to investing in low-income areas called “Opportunity Zones.”

The SC Opportunity Zone Summit will take place on Thursday, October 10th from 9:00am to 4:00pm at the Greenville Convention Center. We invite you to join us for this one-day summit that will give you an exclusive glance at how you can maximize the positive impact of Opportunity Zones throughout South Carolina. Join U.S. Senator Tim Scott, along with an array of industry experts, business leaders and community stakeholders for the upcoming summit this fall.
