SUMMARY:MFG Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Held annually on the first Friday in October with events that continue throughout the month\, MFG Day—Manufacturing Day—helps show the reality of modern manufacturing careers by encouraging thousands of companies and educational institutions around the nation to open their doors to students\, parents\, teachers and community leaders. As manufacturers seek to fill 4 million high-skill\, high-tech and high-paying jobs over the next decade\, MFG Day empowers manufacturers to come together to address their collective challenges so they can help their communities and future generations thrive. \nWhile some MFG Day events may look slightly different than in the past\, we are excited that many companies will be opening their doors for in-person events.

SUMMARY:Did you know these tax incentive options existed for Manufacturers looking to grow?
DESCRIPTION:Tax Incentives for Real Estate Expansion Projects  \nManufacturing companies that have expansion plans may benefit from a variety of state and local tax incentives. Whether a company plans to renovate an existing facility\, relocate\, construct a new facility\, create or retain jobs\, there are available resources that can help to reduce the cost associated with a real estate investment.  With the surge of increased construction and labor costs\, rising gas prices and interest rates\, these tax incentives more than ever for businesses. \nBy leveraging tax incentives\, companies can save thousands – or even millions – of dollars. However\, timing is essential.  Otherwise\, companies could leave substantial cash on the table. \nIn this webinar\, Lynn Tokarczyk\, government tax incentives consultant and president of Business Development Strategies\, Inc.\, will discuss how to identify\, negotiate\, and secure valuable government tax incentives\, including: \n\nState Tax Credits\nState Abandoned Building Tax Deductions\nMunicipal Tax Increment Financing (TIF)\nMunicipal Personal Property Tax Relief\nMunicipal Special Tax Assessment (STA)\n\nRegister Here
