Based in part on our work last August with the Federal Reserve Bank and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency we have been invited to host a table at the upcoming Urban Marketplace this March.

Michael Banner, CEO of the Los Angeles, LDC, a community development financial institution, first introduced us to the Urban Land Institute of Los Angeles. 

We will host a number of experts on Enterprise Zones including Blake Christian, CPA, Tax Partner with HCVT, Inc. and Craig Johnson, Enterprise Zone Manager, with the City of Long Beach and President of the California Association of Enterprise Zones.

Steven B. Paige, Chief Operating Officer and I from Empowered Banking will be there to share how business lenders, zone communities, and business owners can leverage zone benefits to stimulate lending, business growth, and hiring.
