Ben Carson: Opportunity Zones Are ‘a Game Changer in This Country’

‘The 2017 tax cuts and Jobs Act, has created an opportunity for all 50 governors, and the governors of five territories, to create Opportunity Zones’

EXCERPT:

SMITH: "Can you tell us a little bit, Mr. Secretary, about these opportunity zones that came up as well in yesterday’s meeting."
CARSON: "Yeah, the opportunity zones is a game changer in this country. Because throughout the 2017 tax cuts and jobs act was created an opportunity for all 50 governors, and the governors of 5 territories, to create opportunity zones. They can dedicate 25 percent of the economically depressed areas into which people could invest unrealized capital gain over the long-term.”
