Webinars

Educating and informing our members is at the heart of our mission. That’s why Aim hosts webinars on relevant municipal topics such as current legislative issues and cybersecurity. Each of these webinars is designed to keep you up to date on the subject matter and give you takeaways that you can apply in your municipality.

Utilizing Opportunity Zones for Long-Term Community Investments

Tuesday, March 3, 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time
$25 Aim Members / $55 Municipal Non-Member

The Opportunity Zone program continues to be one of the most compelling federal tax-advantaged tools for spurring private investment in economically distressed communities. Originally created in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, Opportunity Zones allow investors to defer and potentially reduce federal capital gains taxes by reinvesting those gains into Qualified Opportunity Funds (QOFs). In 2025, Congress ushered in Opportunity Zones 2.0 as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, permanently extending the program and modernizing its structure. Join this webinar for an update on the federal and state Opportunity Zone Program. What’s new, what’s changing, and how investors, developers, community leaders, and advisors can take advantage of the next era of Opportunity Zone investing. CLE is pending for this webinar. 

Speakers:
Scott A. Krapf, Partner, FBT Gibbons LLP
Glorify Batsirai Mandima, Associate, FBT Gibbson LLP
