  4. NARRATIVE OF [town/county/region] What’s the story you’re telling about your town and region. Your marketing pitch that puts all the different projects into one frame? This should be the hook that pulls people in This can be framed as a letter from the mayor

  5. HOW DO OPPORTUNITY ZONES WORK? What are the incentives for investors? What are the major components? • Temporary Deferral: An investor can defer capital gains taxes until 2026 by rolling their gains directly over into an Opportunity Fund • Reduction: The deferred capital gains liability is effectively reduced by 10% if the investment in the Opportunity Fund is held for 5 years and another 5% if held for 7 years • An Exemption: Any capital gains on subsequent investments made through an Opportunity Fund accrue tax-free as long as the investor stays invested in the fund for at least 10 years. • Investments: Opportunity Funds make equity investments in businesses and business property in Opportunity Zones. • Funds: Opportunity funds are investment vehicles organized as corporations or partnerships for the specific purpose of investing in qualified Opportunity Zones • Zones: States and territories designated 25 percent of their eligible low-income census tracts as Opportunity Zones.

  7. AUDIENCE FOR THIS PROSPECTUS This document is a review of key projects in [town/region]’s Opportunity Zones. It’s intended for those interested in taking advantage of the federal legislation or looking for places to put their money. Local individuals with capital gains: These individuals who just sold a company or a piece of property and have a smaller amount of capital gains that they would rather invest in the local economy than pay federal taxes on. This document shows what’s happening in their back yard and what they can do to support it. Philanthropies and individuals with a regional interest: These institutions and individuals care about the future of the region and may be interested in supporting projects through donations, grants, or low-return capital that create a meaningful investment aligned with their vision. This document shows where they can have the biggest bang for their buck. Opportunity Fund Managers: These are the national, local, and regional actors with market-rate and socially impact-oriented capital that they’re seeking to responsibly invest in Opportunity Zones. This document shows them a menu of local projects in Opportunity Zones and who to contact for more information them.

  8. MARKET CONTEXT

  9. ZONE DATA where is zone? What’s inside it (this is where GIS data from VT GIS on employment can be super helpful). This should build your case for the narrative that frames the prospectus & also support the idea that investing in these projects is a good economic proposition and has the potential to be meaningful. Picture of zone on a map, highlighting key areas of reference (employment centers, universities, etc.) • Key zone stats (vary every place) • Population. What is it now? How has it changed over last 5-10 years (only list this if it builds the case for your narrative) • Key employers & local businesses • Other geographically-based incentives? • What, if anything, have local anchors (university, hospital, foundation, key industry) invested or done to support local economic development? • Can include employment stats • Key local economic partnerships that have been formed?
