Smart Growth Summit: Opportunity Zones 2.0

Join the Triangle East Chamber of Commerce for the next installment of our Smart Growth Summit series, where regional leaders come together to explore the issues shaping the future of our communities and economy.

This session will spotlight Opportunity Zones 2.0—the next evolution of a powerful economic development tool designed to drive investment, support business growth, and revitalize underserved communities. As new legislation and regulations take shape, understanding what’s ahead is essential for local leaders, developers, investors, and businesses seeking to stay competitive.

With the July 1 deadline for new Opportunity Zone designations quickly approaching, decisions made now will directly shape where capital flows, and which communities benefit, for the next decade.

Whether you are in economic development, real estate, government, or business leadership, this session will provide timely insights and actionable guidance to help you navigate what comes next.

Be part of the conversation shaping the future of the Triangle East region.
