  • Tailoring Opportunity Zones to Your Community | Panel hosted by Elissa Hansen & Karl Schuettler of Northspan | 1 hour 8 minutes

    Tailoring Opportunity Zones to Your Community | Panel hosted by Elissa Hansen & Karl Schuettler of Northspan | 1 hour 8 minutes

    Since their designation in 2018, Opportunity Zones have generated significant attention as a potential tool to drive new investment in long underserved communities. While OZs are already generating millions of dollars of investment, they also come with serious concerns for the communities in which they are located. Opportunity Zone projects also look very different in urban and rural areas, and communities must tailor their approaches to best coordinate local development opportunities with potential sources of funding.

    In this session, the partners behind the MN Opportunity Collaborative provide an overview of the incentive, explain how communities can leverage Opportunity Zones through collaboration on projects, outline how to make sure projects result in genuine social impact in Minnesota, and provide a hands-on opportunity to work through a case study that brings all of these ideas together.

    Panelists include Elissa Hansen of Northspan, Karl Schuettler, of Northspan, Dannielle Lewis of Wipfli & Terri Thao of Nexus Community Partners
