WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) issued the following statement on today’s Opportunity Zone Conference at the White House:
“Created under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Opportunity Zones help lift low income Americans out of poverty by encouraging local investment in communities that have faced economic hardship. In North Dakota, Governor Burgum has designated many tribal communities as opportunity zones. I am thankful for the governor’s efforts to bring economic opportunity to tribal lands, and to North Dakota’s own Cass County Vice Chairman Chad Peterson, who participated in today’s event so he could learn best practices to take back to our great state.”
