New Market Tax Credits – Creating Economic Health and Prosperity
New Market Tax Credits – Creating Economic Health and Prosperity
Many tribal communities find themselves isolated and underdeveloped, unable to build and support a local economy that can provide the needed jobs and services for economic prosperity. New Market Tax Credits (NMTC) is a tool that can help tribal communities develop the key community projects that lack the needed capital to move forward. In this webinar, Brian Gorecki, the founder of Real Estate Consultants, will introduce the use of NMTC for your project and unlock the possibilities of growth and expansion for job development and the expansion of key goods and services in tribal communities. Also presenting, Veronica R. Lane Vice President and Business Development Officer will be speaking on economic and banking opportunities from Native American Bank.
