The Virtual Opportunity Zone Tour is highlighting the good news seen in cities and towns across America as their citizens work together to create new jobs and breathe new life into their communities.\n\n\u201cThe Erie Downtown Development Corporation (EDDC) is the textbook definition of citizens harnessing the limitless potential of Opportunity Zones and coming together to revitalize their neighborhoods,\u201d said Senator Tim Scott. \u201cTo put it into greater context, the City of Erie is home to the zip code with the lowest per-capita income in the country, but because of the vital work the EDDC is doing with Opportunity Zones, we\u2019ve seen millions of dollars in private capital surge into the city. I cannot wait to come back one day\u2014in person, and not virtually\u2014to see the incredible strides Erie\u2019s made to uplift their community.\u201d\n\nClick video above to watch.\n\nRead more on Erie Times-Newsand Forbes.\n\nSenator Scott\u2019s first stop on the tour was in Hampton County in his home state of South Carolina.\n\nCreated by a provision included by Senator Scott in the 2017 tax reform package, Opportunity Zones are the first major new effort to help our nation\u2019s most distressed communities in decades. More than $75 billion in private sector investment has been committed to Opportunity Zones around the country.
