One of the exceptional aspects of the New Market Tax Credit (NMTC) is how it brings together public and private entities to funnel capital to low-income urban and rural areas where, in the past, the risk for investors would have been too great. A case in point is the $6.2 million revitalization of the Longwood Plaza (now renamed Arbor Park Place) shopping center in Cleveland, Ohio, of which $1.57 million was made possible by the NMTC program.
