Opportunity Zone Webinar June 19: A Guide to Evolving Program Rules

The U.S. Treasury issued Qualified Opportunity Zone program regulations on April 17. Join members of Ballard Spahr’s Qualified Opportunity Zone team for an overview of the QOZ program and dive into how this new set of regulations will impact investments in real estate and operating businesses located in QOZs.
