The newly daylit Assunpink Creek next to Mill Hill Park in Trenton. I'm so excited for this to open! It's right around the corner from Warren St where all the restaurants & Starbucks are. It'll especially be a critical asset once the abandoned garage is developed. #TrentonMakes

Great to be on an #OpportunityZones panel at UPenn and learn about the amazing work going on in Philly, Baltimore, and most importantly Newark! @aisha_glover @Tai_Cooper101 @benseigel22 @vaughnross @annebnevins

[Evan Weiss @EvanWeissS]

So excited to see this happening. We need more stakeholder specific #OpportunityZones convenings. Look out for ones we're planning for business, healthcare, and the public sector!

Particularly like the OZ Community Corp, which will help existing businesses and others get pro Bono legal and accounting advice on how to setup an OZ fund.

Great news out of #WashingtonDC on OZ, city-land redev, #affordablehomes

Left to their own fate, state and local policy makers often end up shoveling money at companies in the hope of attracting future investment. It isn’t working.
