Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

HFO Interview with Isaac Jones, CPA with Perkins & Co., discussing the evolution and benefits of Opportunity Zones
Q: How does the rolling 5-year deferment work, and what happens at year five and beyond?
Investors defer recognition of gains by investing in a QOF, with a 10% basis step-up after five years and then permanent tax-free treatment of appreciation after the additional holding periods, assuming compliance with the rolling 5-year windows.
HFO TV interview with Emily Picha, from EcoNorthwest, discussing investment strategies for Downtown Portland
Q: Are you getting buy-in from elected officials for that roundtable idea, and what feedback are you hearing from other stakeholders?
There is initial outreach to the mayor's office, but a clear, actionable plan is still being ironed out; a Central City Roundtable is being considered to monitor metrics and bring multi-sector partners together, though details are still being finalized.
HFO Interview with Amy Vander Vliet, regional economist for the Oregon Employment Division, discussing Portland's economic status.
Q: What role do population trends play in the economic outlook?
Population declines early in the pandemic have reversed only modestly; the doughnut effect concentrates growth on outer counties and Bend, with migration within the metro area influencing housing demand and labor supplies, which in turn affects the recovery trajectory.
HFO Interview with Amy Vander Vliet, regional economist for the Oregon Employment Division, discussing Portland's economic status.
Q: Which sectors are leading or lagging in the region?
Construction and manufacturing have seen the steepest declines, while most industries are down year over year; manufacturing in particular is in a recession, and high-tech employment around firms like Intel is a key area to watch due to its impact on Washington County and related regions.
HFO Interview with Amy Vander Vliet, regional economist for the Oregon Employment Division, discussing Portland's economic status.
Q: How would you describe Portland's current overall economy?
Portland's economy is soft and broadly weak across most sectors, with a slow, broad-based slowdown rather than a collapse in any one industry, and recovery has been uneven across counties.
