Diving Deep into Opportunity Zones

Undeniably, there has been a tremendous amount of hype, speculation, and misinformation surrounding Opportunity Zones since the first zones were designated in 2019. On October 23, Connect Opportunity Zones promises to shed some much-needed light on the nation’s most talked about investment strategy. Is the program living up to its original promise in terms of the amount of capital being raised and how is that capital actually being deployed? Hear directly from industry leaders, major stakeholders, government officials, and others as they weigh in on CRE’s hottest topic.

Two Events, One Venue, Greater Value

This year, Connect Opportunity Zones will be co-located with Connect National Investment & Finance for a full day of CRE insight.

To register for both events at a discounted rate, fill out the Connect Opportunity Zones + Connect National Investment & Finance ticket during the registration process.

Doing Good: Social Impact Investing and Community Building

As opportunity zones were originally designed to stimulate economic development in underserved communities, it seems fitting to evaluate whether they will be able to deliver on that promise. Likewise, social impact investing continues to gain momentum as a preferred vehicle for funding opportunity zone projects like affordable housing, community reinvestment, and overall economic development. Hear from the people doing the projects on the elements at work and what creates success.

It is critical that we all take the emerging challenge presented by the Coronavirus seriously. We should remain calm and await more information to be provided by health experts. Clearly, there needs to be an awareness of the potential impact on the CRE industry from an economic perspective. We are watching the rapidly evolving situation to determine the best approach to our business and prepare plans based on information and recommendations from health officials. We ask those planning to attend conferences take the necessary precautions to help prevent the spread of the virus. We will look for ways to help educate those in the CRE industry and work with our event venue partners to create the safest environment possible. Some of the recommendations to protect yourself offered by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) include:

Frequently wash hands with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer
Avoid touching your nose, eyes or mouth without first washing your hands
Use tissue when sneezing or coughing and dispose of immediately
Avoid close contact with individuals showing signs of fever or persistent cough

If you don’t feel well take all of the above steps and

Seek the advice of your doctor and call ahead for appointments
Refrain from unnecessary contact with family members or pets
Stay home or work remotely
