This program provides a federal tax incentive for taxpayers who reinvest unrealized capital gains into “Opportunity Funds,” which are specialized vehicles dedicated to investing in low-income areas called “Opportunity Zones.”

The SC Opportunity Zone Summit will take place on Thursday, October 10th from 9:00am to 4:00pm at the Greenville Convention Center.
