PROGRESS REPORTS <br /> <br />PR <br />Mr. Inks noted the availability of New Market Tax <br />ROGRESS EPORTS <br />Credits, competitively available each year. The city <br />initiated an application for those funds to help fund <br />redevelopment projects. The list of types of projects <br />we’re looking at supporting with those funds is the <br />LaSalle Hotel, Ignition Park, Coveleski Ballpark, <br />Coveleski Neighborhood, and others. This is a tax <br />credit program. The city’s application is for $50M of <br />tax credits. By the time they are sold at a discount, the <br />fees related to the upfront use of the credits, what the <br />city would end up with is about $10M that can be used <br />to help make projects happen that otherwise wouldn’t <br />happen. These projects have to be in lower income <br />areas of the city, but a large portion of the city fits those <br />income requirements. All the projects he mentioned <br />would fit that requirement. We also looked at East Bank <br />Plan implementation. That area would also meet the <br />low income requirement. The application was initiated <br />by the city. As we made the decision to pursue it, we <br />were too late to apply to be an eligible entity to receive <br />the allocation directly.
