Excerpts
from
conversation:
"These
are
private
sector
dollars
coming
into
distressed
communities,
where
50
million
Americans
live,
that’ll
provide
long-term
opportunities
to
transform
communities
and
the
people
who
live
in
there
–
everything
from
workforce
investment
to
better
education,
to
businesses
being
attracted
into
these
Opportunity
Zones."
"We
hope
to
see
a
real
investment
of
time,
talent
and
treasure
into
these
areas,
and
by
doing
so,
it
will
excavate
these
hidden
talents
in
communities,
right
in
their
own
backyards."
"Our
greatest
potential
talent
pool
is
right
here
in
our
own
country
in
our
own
backyards.
Let's
put
those
folks
to
work
and
continue
to
reduce
the
unemployment
rates
of
people
of
color."
