Feb 11    Lunch & Learn - The ABCs of QOZs (Qualified Opportunity Zones)
***This Lunch & Learn is full, but we have added a second date on Feb. 13. Click HERE for registration.***

Created by Congress in 2017, Qualified Opportunity Zones are communities where new investments are eligible for preferential tax treatment. The Charleston Area Alliance worked with the City of Charleston on applications that led to the approval of four zones - giving Charleston more QOZs than any other municipality in the state.

Conducted by Steptoe & Johnson, this Lunch & Learn will provide a general overview of the QOZ program, policy and history. This will be the first in a series of four sessions about this important program that is designed to stimulate economic growth across our community.
