Wisconsin’s future: How OBBBA strengthens state real estate and development
Wisconsin developers see new opportunities under tax law changes, including LIHTC boosts, opportunity zones, Section 179 expensing and QBI deduction.
Politics Aside: Incentives Benefit Milwaukee
It’s no secret that in recent years, the political divide between the left and the right has been growing. In today’s highly politicized environment, legislation and policy is often bogged down by political theater or diluted (or inflated) to get just enough votes for approval. The result can make for bad policy in some cases, and no policy in others.
Evers signs bill increasing Opportunity Zone benefits, others related to construction
Gov. Tony Evers has signed into law a handful of bills touching on the construction industry, including one that would double the tax benefit for investments in federal Opportunity Zones.
Opportunity zone bill would double benefit to in-state investors
A new bill in the state Legislature would supplement federal tax incentives by offering a state tax break to those that invest in opportunity zones.
ON THE LEVEL: Mitich helps developers with ins-and-outs of opportunity zones
To many people, nonprofit work might not seem to have much in common with Opportunity Zones and other sorts of federal development incentives.
