The panel explored how CDEs and potential QALICBs can strategically identify, evaluate, and position projects that align with their mission, demonstrate community impact, and meet readiness criteria. This annual event provides a platform for industry leaders, investors, developers, and policymakers to explore what’s ahead for the new markets tax credit and how to leverage it for lasting community impact.
