Opportunity Zones: What Connecticut’s Bioscience Community Needs to Know – Presented by Pullman & Comley

Please Join A Breakfast Roundtable Discussion

The Opportunity Zones program, an important new federal incentive to grow businesses through long-term investments in low-income communities, has become a hot topic in 2019. Learn about the program and how it can help you attract investment in our upcoming breakfast program.  Members of Pullman & Comley’s Opportunity Zones and Health Care teams will provide an overview of the federal Opportunity Zone program and recent IRS guidance, and offer advice on attracting and using Opportunity Zone investments. In addition, you will hear from the Department of Economic and Community Development’s Office of the Permit Ombudsman about its role in the Opportunity Zone program.

Topics to be addressed include:

• An overview of the program’s eligibility requirements, tax benefits, exemptions and compliance requirements
• Availability of Opportunity Fund investments for bioscience ventures
• Opportunity Fund investments compared to traditional investments
• How businesses in Opportunity Zones can access Opportunity Fund investments
• What to expect when negotiating an investment from an Opportunity Fund
• CT DECD Permit Ombudsman’s role in assisting bioscience businesses

Registration, networking and breakfast will begin at 8 a.m., and the program will begin promptly at 8:30 a.m.
