One of the greatest tools at our disposal for boosting US-based manufacturing is the New Markets Tax Credit Program. For 25 years, the New Markets Program has incentivized the investment of private capital into companies creating good jobs in communities with low incomes. From tissue production in northern Maine, to peanut shelling in Georgia, to windows manufacturers in Missouri, the capital incentivized via the New Markets Tax Credit Program has been key to the creation or expansion of a diverse range of manufacturers, which are revitalizing communities, particularly in rural areas. Despite more than two decades to proven success, the New Markets Tax Credit Program is set to expire at the end of 2025. To support this vital program, I am encouraging Congress to support America’s low-income rural communities and urban neighborhoods by cosponsoring the NMTC Extension Act of 2025.
