Ohio Senate Bill 225 Doubling Historic and Opportunity Zone Incentives Heads to House
Ohio historic preservation and economic development projects may soon receive a large temporary boost from the Ohio General Assembly. Recently passed by the Ohio Senate and now under consideration in the Ohio House, Ohio Senate Bill 225 would double both the Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credit and Opportunity Zone Tax Credit caps.

Historic Affordable Community in Oakland, CA Lands $20M Refinancing
Adcock Joyner Preservation secured $13 million in debt financing and $7.2 million in equity financing for the renovation and redevelopment of Adcock Joyner Apartments, a 50-unit mixed-use affordable housing property in downtown Oakland, California. Merchants Capital provided the financing, which will fund the development through the 4 percent LIHTC program.

Fresno, CA is Investing $12M to Create More Affordable Housing
The city of Fresno is scheduled to invest $6 million in two affordable housing projects, upon approval of the city council this Thursday. This is on top of $6 million approved last week for a development in southeast Fresno. The city's involvement is making loan guarantees to help enhance applications for a state Low-Income Housing Tax Credit.

Hydrogen Tax Credits Could Help Developers Secure Project Financing
Hydrogen tax credits proposed within the Biden administration's Build Back Better Act would not only help bring down the cost of clean hydrogen, the credits themselves could catalyze hydrogen projects by helping developers lock-in long-term financing, energy financing experts say. The credits have been widely lauded as something that could unleash the hydrogen industry in the US, especially the prospect of the production tax credit.

Two Missouri Bills Would Offer Incentives for Grocery Stores, Urban Farms
Sen. Barbara Washington, D-Kansas City, is sponsoring legislation meant to offer up to $5,000 in incentives to establish urban farms. Sen. Doug Beck, D-St. Louis County, is sponsoring legislation to create a tax credit for grocery stores that open in food deserts.

Getting Ready: Federal Energy Tax Credits You Don't Want to Miss
Although many programs and incentives are managed at state level, there are significant, powerful federal energy programs. The Solar Investment Tax Credit is a tremendously successful federal policy that has helped solar energy grow nationally by 10,000% since 2006. The program has been extended until the end of 2023.

Low Income Housing Tax Credit - Another Win for the Aggregators
The Section 42 low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) is the major way that the federal government promotes the creation and preservation of affordable housing. Every year each state gets credits based on population which are allocated by the state's designated agency. Projects typically have investor limited partners (sometimes just one). They are designed so that the lion's share of the credit goes to the investor LP. There may also be losses.
