Over 300 million dollars have already been invested in Oregon's Opportunity Zones.   OZ is not a government program.  It is a marketplace.  And it is booming.  Are you ready to take advantage of this transformation in investing?

This marketplace event is an extension of the OZ Investing events that the Community Development Corporation of Oregon has hosted in Bend, Canby, Albany and Portland.  It is co-sponsored with Central Oregon Association of Realtors and the Oregon Association of Realtors. As a participant in this conference, you will go away with an understanding of

• How you can defer or even eliminate capital gains taxes by investing your profits in opportunity zones.
• What comprises an opportunity zone and why every astute investor with capital gains should be aware of it and considering it.
• Why the first announced investments in Oregon have been in so much demand by investors.
• How you can invest in emerging businesses or real estate opportunities through an opportunity zone investment.
• How your opportunity zone investments can transform communities.
• What policymakers in Salem and Washington DC can do now to make the OZ marketplace work even better
