Tuesday, May 12, 2026 | 3 p.m. - 4 p.m. ET

Opportunity Zones are entering a new phase – and county leaders are critical to the conversation.

  • Ashlea Quinonez, Regional Administrator, Region VI

In this session, you will walk away with:
  • A clear understanding of OZ 1.0 successes in communities
  • Insight into how OZ 2.0 expands long-term investment potential
  • Practical examples of how localities are using tax incentives to fund growth
  • A framework for aligning community revitalization with local priorities
Attendees will also hear directly from HUD leaders on how collaboration between housing and economic development can reshape communities.
