Being Transformative in Opportunity Zones
 

This meeting will take place online.

Explore the Impact Investment can have on Communities

Opportunity Zones represent a breakthrough approach to community development.  The goal of OZ’s are to attract and spur investments in economically distressed communities.  Presently, Wake County has 13 census tracts and leaders are hoping this tool can create investments that can be transformative.   

Wake County Economic Development and Innovate Raleigh are partnering to bring you this virtual forum on Opportunity Zones. At this important forum, we will look at the capital investment potential of opportunity zones for investors and entrepreneurs, and the transformative power of that investment on negative social conditions for communities in and near the zones. We will hear about the latest tax benefits from local experts and about plans for the future from our economic development leaders.

You will gain valuable insight from these speakers:

  • Veronica Creech, Director, Office of Economic Development, City of Raleigh
  • Charlie Davis, Associate Attorney, Poyner Spruill
  • Jeanne Milliken Bonds, Professor of the Practice, Impact Investment, and Sustainable Finance, UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School
  • Karen Przypyszny, Managing Director, Special Initiatives, National Equity Fund, Inc.
  • Joseph Stallings, Economic Development Director, Town of Garner
  • Ashley Tison, Founder & CEO, Opportunity Zones Consultants
  • Napoleon Wallace, Founding Partner, Partners in Equity

Learn how we can create a more inclusive and equitable economic ecosystem through the use of opportunity zones.
