The Intro Tax Credit Finance Course examines the variety of tax credit programs and their use in economic development efforts. This course discusses the practical application of tax credits for supporting new markets, low-income housing, historic preservation, and other local goals.

From urban redevelopment and historic preservation to housing and energy infrastructure, tax credit programs exist to help communities create jobs and energize economies - yet these innovative tools are underutilized. This course will reach beyond the facts and figures of each program to help attendees learn how to apply tax credits successfully to development opportunities.
