Becoming a Successful Qualified Opportunity Zone Fund Sponsor
The emergence of the Opportunity Zone legislation earlier this year has sparked a mounting interest in the designated areas, which are designed to rejuvenate investment in economically distressed areas while providing significant tax incentives.
