Great speaking at the Novogradac New Markets Tax Credit spring conference on the importance of the #NMTC in revitalizing our low-income communities. I’m working w/ my colleagues to make the #NMTC permanent, which we need to do before it expires at the end of this year.

The Internal Revenue Service submitted the second tranche of proposed Opportunity Zone guidance to the OMB today. The OMB will now conduct its mandated review. The issuance date for this new guidance is still uncertain, but here's hoping it will be soon. https://t.co/Ko7pOJoJZr

The @CDFIFund has announced the anticipated delay in CY 2018 New Markets Tax Credit awards. The shutdown pushed the NMTC award announcements from Winter 2019 to Spring 2019. #newmarketstaxcredit

@TakeTheLimitOff Yes — this will be a public hearing.

[Ryan Brunton @RyanBrunton3]

A Valentine’s Day special — the IRS hearing on the proposed Opportunity Zones regulations is now rescheduled for February 14th at 10:00am. The hearing will take place just before the next potential Shutdown deadline. #opportunityzones

I appreciated speaking on Opportunity Zones today at the @kcchamber Financial Services Committee meeting. The panel included great speakers from @KCMO, the EDC of Kansas City, MO and @KauffmanFDN. We continue to spread the word about OZs in KC! #opportunityzones @OpZonesNews

[Ryan Brunton @RyanBrunton3]

I was glad to facilitate Opportunity Zones roundtable discussions this morning at the @ICSC Heartland States Idea Exchange. Great questions on how to utilize OZ capital in retail development. I'm hopeful OZs will bring new retail to underserved communities. #opportunityzones

We are pleased to have several #attorneys present to a full room at the #OpportunityZone Deal Making event in Denver this afternoon. 🎤 #speakingengagement @OpZonesNews @RyanBrunton3

I appreciated presenting today at the Opportunity Zone Deal Making Event hosted by the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade. 9 different cities and counties presented OZ prospectuses to the audience. Love the OZ excitement in Colorado!#opportunityzones

Here is the link to the official IRS notice of the postponed #OpportunityZones hearing. https://t.co/bdaTa2JaZ0 1/2

The shutdown is delaying one of the administration's top priorities. IRS just postponed Thursday's public hearing on regulations for the Opportunity Zone program.

[NTCIC @NTCIC]

Forbes has identified the #NMTC as one of seven tax policies to watch this year. The highly impactful incentive is due to expire by the end of 2019, so be sure to urge your elected officials to #MakeTheNMTCPermanent!!

We know it takes a holistic approach to create meaningful economic revitalization for communities across the country that are struggling. We are bringing both private investment and public commitment together through the #OpportunityZones initiative.

[Bruce Katz @bruce_katz]

The narrative of #OpportunityZones was to have private capital on the coasts move into the heartland; the big move may be to have private capital in the heartland stay in the heartland @rossbaird

The White House established a new Council tasked with finding ways to minimize the Opportunity Zone investment costs, recognizing best practices and recommending law, policies, and programs to encourage OZ investments.

[Senator Tim Scott @SenatorTimScott]

Was at the @WhiteHouse earlier today for the establishment of the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council. This new initiative aims to improve revitalization efforts in some of America’s most distressed communities through #OpportunityZones.

“The best way to predict the future is to design it”: Great insight heard in KC this week during #OpportunityZone exploration with @rossbaird
