The Novogradac 2018 New Markets Tax Credit Conference will explore topics that focus on current issues and best practices in the community development world. These topics include how tax reform and other events of 2017 will affect community development going forward, the current status of credit prices and competition, best practices to enhance community development at a local level and best exit strategies, how to get deals done, and unconventional financing tools and leverage sources. Manatt is sponsoring the event, which is taking place January 25–26, 2018, in San Diego, CA.

Neil Faden, partner in Manatt’s corporate and finance practice, will participate in a panel titled “Investing in Opportunity Act” on Jan. 26. The Investing in Opportunity Act is now law—part of the tax reform legislation that was passed in December. The panel will explore the basics of the newest community development tool that can be used to revitalize economically distressed communities, as well as the terminology and timeline and how the act relates to the NMTC program.
