Last week, members of CiF’s executive staff and representatives from both the Cleveland Development Advisors and the Greater Cleveland Partnership met with Congressman Jim Renacci to tour Cleveland area real estate projects that received funding from the EB-5 program and/or the New Market Tax Credit program.

Congressman Renacci met with project developers and was able to get a behind-the-scenes look at some of Cleveland’s ongoing real estate projects.

Both the EB-5 and the New Market Tax Credit programs allow local projects to secure the funding necessary to bring developments online and create new jobs for the region. CiF is excited to be a part of the region’s continuing economic growth.
