Novogradac Readies Investors for Next Cycle of Opportunity Zones

The two-day event, held October 29-30 at the Fairmont Washington D.C. Georgetown, focuses on the transition toward permanent incentive status. Sessions will feature White House National Economic Council director Kevin Hassett, alongside deep dives into investment structuring, site selection, and strategies for navigating complex project disputes or capital gaps. Jason Watkins, a partner at Novogradac and conference chair, emphasized that stakeholders are currently facing a critical window to align their portfolios before Treasury Department designations go into effect later this fall.

Novogradac has scheduled two intensive pre-conference workshops on October 28 to address the learning curve for participants. These sessions cover the fundamentals of qualified opportunity funds and property, as well as high-level compliance and financing maneuvers for sophisticated investors. The program serves as a primary hub for industry players to interpret recent legislative guidance and establish deployment strategies before the market accelerates.
