Did you know these tax incentive options existed for Manufacturers looking to grow?

<p style="text-align: center"><img class="alignnone wp-image-27736 size-medium" src="https://massmep.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/9.29.22-HIRES-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></p> <strong>Tax Incentives for Real Estate Expansion Projects </strong> Manufacturing 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. By 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. In 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: <ul> <li>State Tax Credits</li> <li>State Abandoned Building Tax Deductions</li> <li>Municipal Tax Increment Financing (TIF)</li> <li>Municipal Personal Property Tax Relief</li> <li>Municipal Special Tax Assessment (STA)</li> </ul> [mep_register url="https://massmep-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_bxduAwqNTqaMphrpOTEruQ"]
