SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY, PA — Plans are underway for the 2nd annual Northeastern Pennsylvania Real Estate Summit hosted by Penn’s Northeast. This annual event will feature commercial realtors, developers, builders and site selectors who will share their outlook on current and future real estate trends, locally and nationally. In addition, there will be a panel that will discuss the significance and opportunities within the new federal QOZ’s or Qualified Opportunity Zones. Investments made by individuals through funds in these zones can defer or eliminate federal taxes on capital gains. There are numerous parcels in Northeastern Pennsylvania that qualify, and our panelists will share what you need to know.
