Opportunity Zones (OZ) are a newly permanent development finance tool that every community should understand. The final session of the TEDC - CDFA 2026 Webinar series will provide Texas communities the education and insights to leverage OZ investment. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the current landscape and future of OZs; followed by a review of how existing development finance tools can work in tandem with OZ investments. This webinar will enable Texas communities to fully leverage this new development finance resource.

This webinar will equip Texas communities with the knowledge and resources to leverage Opportunity Zone investments in their community. This session will provide an overview of how Opportunity Zone investments work with existing development finance tools, and highlight Opportunity Zone investment project case studies.
