A2: Tax Credits

Elisabeth R. Gerber, professor of public policy at the University of Michigan, is a co-author on a column published by the Detroit Free Press on the value of brownfield and historic tax credits, which Gov. Rick Snyder has proposed eliminating: “The programs pay for themselves and boast a return on investment unequaled in the public sector. Game-changing brownfield and historic tax credit projects have been completed all over the state, including: in Ann Arbor, where a $50 million mixed-use student housing project was recently financed due to the brownfield credit.” [Source]
