[BoulderCouncilHotline] Re: Opportunity Zones

[Carlisle, Cynthia]

Thanks, Mary! Thanks, Lisa!
I agree with what Lisa asks for Tuesday and further would like to learn more about the city’s Community Vitality and where and how the “Economic Vitality” fits into what’s occurred with the Opportunity Zone decision. Since it appears—or am I mistaken—that the conclusion was announced before the council or public was made aware of staff actions, I think it would be just dandy to shed some light on this area.
Thank you,
Cindy

Thanks, Mary!

I read this article this morning and found it very interesting. What was disturbing was a critical paragraph proposed by Senator Cory Booker was deleted and is no longer in the current language.

I ask CAC to schedule a council discussion of opportunity zones this Tuesday, November 28. We have 3 hours scheduled to discuss the Library Master Plan and library financing/districting   Given council recently held a discussion on our library and concept of districting, it seems we can have the library discussion in 1.5-2 hrs and use our last hour to discuss opportunity zones, how and where in Boulder might these occur, what the process has been to date, what is involved, who invests, what benefits Boulder receives, etc. Council has received multiple emails on this issue and while we received an IP, I find that inadequate and think a council discussion would be helpful for the council and the community.

Thanks
Lisa
