During a full Ways & Means Committee hearing with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Thursday, U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA), Chairman of the Ways & Means Subcommittee on Tax, highlighted the success of Erie’s Opportunity Zones. Kelly also invited the Secretary to Erie to tour the city’s projects.
“Opportunity Zone investments have expanded housing, supported small businesses and entrepreneurship, spurred innovation, and revitalized long-forgotten communities. Erie, Pennsylvania, demonstrates the transformative potential of Opportunity Zones,” said Rep. Kelly.
“I’ve heard that Erie is the posterchild in a great way for Opportunity Zones. So, I look forward to coming to visit, and I look forward to visiting the rural areas in your district,” said Sec. Bessent.
