OPPORTUNITY ZONES

TPMA’s WORK ON OPPORTUNITY ZONES 

TPMA has been engaged with Opportunity Zones since its inception of the 2017 Tax Cuts & Jobs Act and has worked with local governments, cities, towns, and regions to assess and implement Opportunity Zone development strategies. We have worked in states such as Indiana, South Carolina, Kentucky, and Idaho. We have developed implementation strategies for over twenty Opportunity Zones that include a range of residential, commercial, and industrial projects. In total, TPMA has identified over $1 Billion in investment opportunities throughout the United States.
