Economic and Community Development
Passionate commercial developers seeking to boost local economies have avenues of support. Governments offer tax breaks, grants, and subsidies to spur growth, especially in underserved areas. These initiatives attract funding for major projects by easing developers' tax burdens.
What’s the Difference Between Commercial Development and Economic Development?
Commerce fuels economy, both local and national. Commercial ventures like hospitals, shopping centers, and offices drive growth, especially when combined with mixed-use developments in urban areas. Governments often offer tax breaks and grants to support these projects, fostering economic prosperity and job creation.
Investors save on taxes, and communities get a boost. The program has helped projects like the Firelake Arena in Oklahoma and the Cade Museum in Florida thrive.

Turning Tax Breaks into Thriving Communities
Various financing options exist within the program. Consult a lawyer specializing in the NMTC to see if it's right for you.
