Jerry Breed, a lawyer in the firm’s Washington, DC office, is moderating a panel discussion on “Opportunity Zones 101: Everything you Need to Know” at the DC Opportunity Zones event hosted by Bisnow.

Program Description:

In Washington, D.C., high-end condominiums, luxury apartments, high-rise hotels, towering office buildings and chic retail and restaurants are being built and delivered at an astonishing pace, especially in Northeast, Southeast, and Southwest D.C.

But that's not all these neighborhoods have. They also have pockets of opportunity.

The Opportunity Zones tax incentive was included in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act President Donald Trump signed into law in December 2018. But the idea stems from a 2015 white paper from the Economic Innovation Group, a D.C.-based think tank that is now working closely with states to help implement the program.

Join Bisnow and our all-star panelists this October as we dive deep into Opportunity Zones and answer the most important questions around this new law. And, as always, bring plenty of business cards!
