Opportunity Awaits Those Willing To Invest In Opportunity Zones: "Opportunity Funds are private sector investment vehicles that invest at least 90 percent of their capital in Opportunity Zones. This capital comes from investors who have existing capital gains that they choose to invest into Qualified Opportunity Funds.
