Abstract
The Federal Opportunity Zones tax incentive has taken over the conversation amongst professionals in the economic and community development world for the past year. The legislation sparked from a think tank exploring ideas about how to tap into a large amount of private capital – unrealized capital gains. With $6.1 trillion of unrealized U.S. capital gains, thought leaders imagined a mechanism to drive this source of private dollars into communities around the country that are most disinvested. Attempting to bridge the economic prosperity gap that is so prevalent in the U.S., the Federal Opportunity Zones were enacted.
