As part of the 2020 State of the Union address, President Donald Trump covered economic growth in the U.S., including increased employment levels, rising wages, and the impact Opportunity Zones have had on underserved areas.
“Jobs and investments are pouring into 9,000 previously neglected neighborhoods thanks to Opportunity Zones, a plan spearheaded by Sen. Tim Scott,” President Donald Trump said at the 2020 State of the Union Address. “In other words, wealthy people and companies are pouring money into neighborhoods or areas that haven’t seen investment in many decades, creating jobs, energy, and excitement.”
