Opportunity Zones have the potential to reshape and improve many distressed areas of Alabama. Established by Congress in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 to encourage private investment in rural and low-income areas, Opportunity Zones provide investors with federal tax incentives and communities with private-sector financing to improve communities through targeted economic development.

Join other leaders at Alabama’s first Opportunity Zone Forum on May 1st at Auburn University to learn how they work and how the state is moving forward.
