Testimony in Support of an Indiana New Markets Tax Credit: Senate Bill 521

Chairman Hershman and members of the Committee, thank you for the opportunity to testify in support of Senate Bill 521 establishing a state new markets tax credit. IACED has more than a decade of experience with the federal New Markets Tax Credit program. IACED’s experience includes the formation of two community development entities. A recent study by the Center for Business and Economic Research at Ball State University completed a simulation based on original analysis and comparable studies in other states to demonstrate that had Indiana implemented a 39 percent state New Market Tax Credit in 2010, over the course of seven years, roughly $433 million would have been invested in economically distressed rural and urban regions with 4,665 total jobs. Of this, $46 million would have been discrete new investment and a total of 499 discrete new jobs. IACED urges you to support SB 521 and create this new tool for investment in Indiana.
