Example
A developer wants to build a $10 million dollar manufacturing facility in a New Markets designated area and receives $10 million dollars in New Markets financing. The generated tax credit would equal 39 percent (or $3.9 million) over a seven year compliance period. The developer can then negotiate the sale of these credits and receive approximately $3 million from the New Markets Tax Credit investor to help finance the facility. At the end of the seven year compliance period, the $3 million in investor equity typically reverts to the developer.
