The two experts share insights and perspectives on the program’s performance.
The Opportunity Zones program has been around for more than three years now. Throughout this period a lot has happened, including last year’s health crisis and culminating with the 2020 presidential elections, which appeared to mark the passage to a new economic cycle. Multi-Housing News asked two Opportunity Zone experts to share their thoughts on the program’s performance so far and how it will function in the future, considering the current state of affairs on a global scale.
Ira Weinstein is a managing principal at CohnReznick and an Opportunity Zone practice leader, while Steve Glickman is the CEO of Develop LLC, an advisory firm dedicated to building and supporting Opportunity Zone funds. Glickman, an adviser to former President Barack Obama, was one of the co-founders of the Economic Innovation Group that built the Qualified Opportunity Zones program. Recently, the two co-authored a book—“The Guide to Making Opportunity Zones Work”—aiming to help investors benefit from this federal program’s incentives.
