Leveraging Fort Wayne’s Opportunity Zones

There are three types of eligible Opportunity Zone investments:

Equity
Investing in a qualified business located within an Opportunity Zone, in exchange for stock.

Partnership
Taking a partnership interest in a Qualified Opportunity Zone partnership.

Property
