DBEDT presents Opportunity Zones Workshops: Maui, Hawaii and Kauai
Posted on Feb 14, 2019 in CBED, Economic Growth, Federal Tax Incentives, Investment, News, Opportunity Zones
DBEDT will present a number of workshops explaining Opportunity Zones, a new federal tax incentive designed to attract long-term private investment and stimulate economic growth in disadvantaged areas across the country—including neighborhoods throughout Hawaii. The incentive offers tax benefits to individuals and businesses when they invest capital gains from a prior investment into Opportunity Funds that deploy capital into designated zones. Maps of those zones and more information about the program is available on the Opportunity Zones page of this website.
DBEDT is partnering with the following organizations to present these workshops: the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco; Hawaii Community Reinvestment Corporation; Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC); the Maui Economic Development Board; County of Hawaii; County of Maui; County of Kauai; Hawaii Small Business Development Center.
