On Wednesday, July 10, 2019, the International Executive Council (IEC) teamed up with the Pacific Club for a collaborative and educational panel discussion on Opportunity Zones. The Opportunity Zones incentive is a new community investment tool established by Congress under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 to encourage long-term investments in low-income urban and rural communities nationwide. Opportunity Zones provide a tax incentive for investors to re-invest their unrealized capital gains into dedicated Opportunity Funds.
