Project Description

The Corporate College and Culinary Arts Training Center is a remarkable example of how resources from the CDFI Fund are put to use. Three local community development organizations – the Cinnaire, Local Initiatives Support Corporation Indianapolis, and the city’s Indianapolis Development CDE – used more than $33 million in New Markets Tax Credits allocated from the CDFI Fund to leverage private capital needed to finance this project which opened in 2012. These tax credits helped Ivy Tech Community College purchase and renovate the historic building that now houses Ivy Tech’s workforce development, culinary arts, and distance learning education programs, as well as office space for staff.
