On behalf of Rhode Island Commerce Secretary Stefan Pryor, thank you for your continued interest in Rhode Island’s Opportunity Zones. We are excited about the investment and economic development potential this new federal program could bring to Rhode Island.

As a brief recap, Opportunity Zones is a new federal program which provides an economic development tool that enables designated Rhode Island communities to attract investment of private equity in qualified projects. Opportunity Zones in Rhode Island were designated earlier this year. More information on Opportunity Zones, including the locations of Opportunity Zones in RI, can be found at Rhode Island Opportunity.

Following recently released proposed regulations on Opportunity Zones from the Internal Revenue Service, Rhode Island Commerce will host an informational webinar for our Opportunity Zones communities and partners on Wednesday, December 19, at 3:15pm to provide background on the program, updates on the IRS’s proposed regulations, and state plans to support Opportunity Zones-related efforts in Rhode Island. We will also answer questions about the program. Please register below to attend the webinar. We hope you can participate. Thank you.
