The City of Milwaukee, Wisconsin plans to redevelop a vacant building into affordable housing with a food accelerator space by using low-income housing tax credits, WHEDA tax-exempt bond financing, American Recovery Plan Act funds allocated by the State of Wisconsin, Milwaukee Housing Trust Funds, a $1.25 million developer-financed Tax Incremental Financing district, deferred developer fees, and other grants and loans.

The State Bond Commission is expected to approve $340.2 million in funding for projects across Connecticut.

The commission is also expected to approve $9 million for the Department of Economic and Community Development's Small Business Boost Fund.

The United States has experienced a striking surge in construction spending for manufacturing facilities. Real manufacturing construction spending has doubled since the end of 2021. The surge comes in a supportive policy environment for manufacturing construction: the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and CHIPS Act each provided direct funding and tax incentives for public and private manufacturing construction.

More than 75 organizations have joined forces with one bold objective in mind: convincing the Dallas City Council to allot $200 million for housing in the 2024 bond election. The coalition is using its website and social media channels to explain things like affordable housing, attainable housing, and 30 percent area median income.

The Ohio Air Quality Development Authority (OAQDA) has approved $20 million in funding for two projects in Northeast Ohio, including one in Rocky River and one in Akron. The funding comes via OAQDA's signature programs, the Clean Air Improvement Program and Clean Air Resource Center for small businesses.

A tax increment financing proposal from the city of Ridgefield could give the city millions of dollars to build needed infrastructure and spur development as the city's rapid growth continues. Tax increment financing is a relatively new concept in Washington but has been used in other states for decades. The program lets local government invest in infrastructure and other improvements, then pay later for those improvements through bonds or other methods. A key benefit is that jurisdictions get to capture future anticipated tax revenues now.
