Enhancing the “Green Bottom Line”: Leveraging Tax Incentives for Sustainable Revitalization

Several federal tax incentive programs can help finance sustainable developments, brownfield reuse, or even green brownfields.  This session provides an overview of the nuts and bolts of several key tax incentives—new markets tax credits, energy efficiency and renewable energy credits, low-income housing tax credits, and historic rehabilitation tax credits—and how such incentives can be integrated into brownfield and sustainable development financing strategies to bring about real project results.  Case studies illustrate the use of these incentives in practice.
