Developer Shows Off Historic Rehabilitation of Greensboro's Printworks Mill
Alexander Co. is preparing to open the first phase of its Printworks Mill project, which will ultimately have 217 apartments, retail space and self-storage.

The program offers about $9.9B in funding annually. There are two types of LIHTCs: the 9% credit and the 4% one. Both credits are spread across a 10-year period.
