Yesterday, Congress passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Thanks to the tireless work of LOCUS members, supporters, and allies, the partisan legislation maintains important community development and affordable housing tax incentives threatened in earlier versions of the bill. Read LOCUS’ full analysis of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act here.
It remains to be seen how exactly the new legislation will affect the future of America’s cities and towns. However, the bill’s newly created low-tax environment will undermine the value of tax credits used to build walkable urban development and transform the nature of real estate development and investment for years to come.
LOCUS is excited to offer a number of unique opportunities to learn more about the new federal tax and regulatory climate next year. These include:
Post tax reform webinar
Join LOCUS in the new year for a discussion of the details and aftermath of the federal tax reform bill. LOCUS Director Christopher Coes and tax and community development experts will consider the implications of the new code and answer participant questions about its content and implementation.
