A year after Ohio community development groups received $0 in New Market Tax Credits for the first time ever, the Cincinnati Center City Development Corp. is ready to declare the end of the funding drought.
"Two Cincinnati economic development agencies have received federal tax credits totaling more than $87 million," reports Tom Demoropolis.
"Cincinnati Development Fund and Cincinnati New Markets Fund, the private equity fund operated by Cincinnati Center City Development Corp. (3CDC), were awarded $42.35 million and $45 million, respectively, through the U.S. Treasury Department’s Community Financial Development Institution’s New Market Tax Credit program."
Last year, the state of Ohio received no New Markets Tax Credits for the first time ever. What a difference a year makes.
