Opportunity Zone in Heber Springs 19

The Opportunity Zone Tax Benefit was signed into federal law as part of the Tax
Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. It encourages long-term equity investments into
targeted communities through Opportunity Funds and the incentives are tied to
the longevity of the investment.

The Opportunity Zone in Heber Springs begins north of Highway 110 in
Downtown Heber Springs, and reaches north and west bordered by Greers Ferry
Lake and the Little Red River.

Heber Springs is beautifully located in the Ozark Mountain foothills of north
central Arkansas, on the shore of Greers Ferry Lake and the banks of the Little
Red River. The mountains serve as a stunningly scenic backdrop for fishing, boat-
ing, golfing, hiking, kayaking, canoeing and shopping in our historic downtown.
This exceptional quality of life enjoyed by Heber Springs residents is enhanced
by a low crime rate, small town convenience with larger city amenities close by in
Little Rock and Conway, an exceptional school system, a two-year Arkansas State
University campus, a community and aquatics center, and a full-service Baptist
Health Medical Center. Heber Springs is home to numerous industries and entre-
preneurs, such as Aromatique and Gar-Bro Manufacturing.
