Procida Funding & Advisors, LLC recently announced that it’s establishing a platform to provide onestop shopping for SelfD i r e c t e d “Curated” Opportunity Zone Investments. Procida will focus on Opportunity Zones in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. Opportunity Zones are no stranger to William “Billy” Procida, Founder and CEO of Procida Funding, as he spent most of his life in areas such as the South Bronx and Harlem. In the 1980’s and 1990’s, Procida was one of the most prolific builders in what are now called, “Opportunity Zones.” Procida built thousands of housing units and strip centers under various programs within former New York City Mayor Ed Koch’s $6.8 billion initiative to rebuild New York City. Procida Funding has also completed over $2 billion of loans and investments in places like Paterson, NJ, Camden, NJ, Hackensack, NJ, and the North Broad corridor of Philadelphia, all now “Opportunity Zones.”
