Today, Congressman David Kustoff (TN-08), questioned U.S. Housing Secretary-Ben Carson and Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Treasury-Steven Mnuchin in the U.S. House Financial Services Committee. Rep. Kustoff asked Secretary Carson and Secretary Mnuchin how they see opportunity zones, including the new Union Row site, as a way to address affordable housing in Memphis.

"In Memphis and Shelby County, we have 32 opportunity zones, all of which are a powerful vehicle for bringing economic growth and job creation to the Memphis communities that need it the most," said Rep. Kustoff. "It was great to hear directly from Secretary Carson and Secretary Mnuchin today about how opportunity zones have helped blighted communities across our country, especially in Memphis."
