What's New Nationally
Opportunity zones were created by the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in late 2017. This new program was added to the tax code to encourage economic development in low-income communities while providing tax deferment incentives for investors that have unrealized capital gains. 
 
NAA/NMHC applaud the recent guidance issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) limiting the Obama administration’s expansive definition of “Waters of the United States” (WOTUS). This reasonable reform will remove significant barriers to the operation and development of apartment communities.
