Enhanced Community Development Secures $65 Million New Markets Tax Credit Allocation

Enhanced Community Development (ECD), a firm with a track record of facilitating economic growth in underserved communities, has been awarded a New Markets Tax Credits (NMTC) allocation of $65 million. This federal award marks ECD's 10th NMTC recognition, bringing its total to a substantial $495 million since the inception of its involvement in 2006. The NMTC program is designed to spur private investment into low-income areas to create jobs and bolster local economies.

New Markets Tax Credits: A Catalyst for Community Growth

The NMTC initiative, which has seen ECD emerge as a significant participant, provides tax credit incentives to investors for equity investments in certified Community Development Entities (CDEs). These entities, in turn, invest in low-income communities, with a focus on commercial, industrial, and retail projects that promise to generate economic revitalization. ECD's latest NMTC allocation signifies its ongoing commitment to enhance community landscapes and support projects that otherwise may lack necessary funding.
