In this study, FABERNOVEL and Ardian Infrastructure combine their expertise to answer a key issue faced by many in the infrastructure world today: in a world that is moving ever forward and finds itself increasingly transformed by the digital, what shapes infrastructure and renders it capable of adapting to and meeting the needs of tomorrow’s economy? How can we boost innovation in infrastructure? And how are we able to add value to infrastructure in tomorrow’s world?
FABERNOVEL and Ardian Infrastructure have developed a scoring model as well as a method aiming to guide future investments in infrastructure, known as “augmented infrastructure”. This method will deliver the tools to help understand key concepts, help succeed in and invest in a whole economy network.

The document discusses federal tax incentives for rehabilitating historic buildings, including a 20% tax credit for certified rehabilitation of historic structures and a 10% tax credit for non-historic non-residential buildings built before 1936. Both credits require that rehabilitation costs exceed a substantial threshold and involve depreciable buildings. The process for obtaining certification and requirements for meeting preservation standards are also outlined.
The document provides an overview of federal and state historic tax credits (HTC) for rehabilitating income-producing historic buildings. It discusses the qualifications for the credits, how to apply, calculating qualified rehabilitation expenditures, cost certifications, case studies, and tax implications. The 20% federal HTC is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in tax liability, while Pennsylvania offers a 25% state credit. Proper use of the credits can provide millions in equity for rehabilitation projects.

The American Rescue Plan Act: What are the RDO Roles?nado-web
The American Rescue Plan Act (APRA) includes the $350 billion State and Local Fiscal Relief Fund which distributes federal assistance to all states, tribal governments, and general purpose local governments nationwide. While RDOs do not receive a direct allocation themselves, their member governments do and there are a number of ways that RDOs may become involved with Fiscal Relief Funds: being a subrecipient of funds transferred from a direct recipient; being a paid contractor providing services to a direct recipient; or being a provider of technical assistance helping direct recipients to administer their allocation. Performing any of these roles requires a basic knowledge of ARPA requirements and of the resources available to manage these relationships. This session will help you gain that up-to-date knowledge.

Why plan for growth and change, when it seems so much easier to simply react?
When there is a distinct and shared vision for your community - when residents, businesses and local government anticipate a sustainable town with cohesive and thriving neighborhoods - you have the power to conserve your beautiful natural spaces, enhance your existing downtown or Main Street, enable rural areas to be productive and prosperous, and save money through efficient use of existing infrastructure.
This is the dollars and sense of smart growth.
Success is clearly visible in Maine, from the creation of a community-built senior housing complex and health center in Fort Fairfield to conservation easements creating Forever Farms to Rockland's revitalized downtown. Communities have options. We have the power to manage our own responses to growth and change.
After all, “Planning is a process of choosing among those many options. If we do not choose to plan, then we choose to have others plan for us.” - Richard I. Winwood
And in the end, this means that our children and their children will choose to make Maine home and our economy will provide the opportunities to do so.

When there is a distinct and shared vision for your community - when residents, businesses and local government anticipate a sustainable town with cohesive and thriving neighborhoods - you have the power to conserve your beautiful natural spaces, enhance your existing downtown or Main Street, enable rural areas to be productive and prosperous, and save money through efficient use of existing infrastructure.
This is the dollars and sense of smart growth.
Success is clearly visible in Maine, from the creation of a community-built senior housing complex and health center in Fort Fairfield to conservation easements creating Forever Farms to Rockland's revitalized downtown. Communities have options. We have the power to manage our own responses to growth and change.
After all, “Planning is a process of choosing among those many options. If we do not choose to plan, then we choose to have others plan for us.” - Richard I. Winwood
And in the end, this means that our children and their children will choose to make Maine home and our economy will provide the opportunities to do so.

INTEGRATING CLIMATE CONSIDERATIONS INTO ASSET MANAGEMENT AT MAINEDOT - GSMSum...GrowSmart Maine
The Maine DOT project aims to assess vulnerability of transportation assets to sea level rise and integrate climate considerations into asset management. The project will:
1) Identify vulnerable assets under three sea level rise scenarios for six coastal communities.
2) Rate criticality of vulnerable assets using a decision support tool.
3) Develop design options for selected assets that are adapted to projected sea level rise versus replacing in-kind.
4) Estimate costs and benefits of replacement approaches to inform asset management.

Independent Study - College of Wooster Research (2023-2024) FDI, Culture, Glo...AntoniaOwensDetwiler
"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.

A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

23. Calculating the Credit
• QREs $ 500,000
• Credit Rate 20%*
• Credits $ 100,000
• Calculate the equity amount: $1.15 per credit
multiplied by $100,000 credits = $115,000
* Credit Rate is sometimes 10%.
www.kleinhornig.com 23
24. The 20% Rehabilitation Tax Credit
Calculating the Allowable Credit
Credit equals 20% of all QREs incurred:
Prior to the start of the 24-month period selected (so
long as they were incurred “in connection with” the
rehab process that resulted in the substantial
rehabilitation of the building);
During the 24-month period; and
After the last day of the 24-month period but before
the last day of the tax year in which the measuring
period ends.
www.kleinhornig.com 24
25. The 20% Rehabilitation Tax Credit
When is the Credit Allowed?
• Credit is generally allowed in the year in which the
building is placed in service (provided substantial
rehabilitation test has been met).
• “Placement in Service” means that the all or
identifiable portions of the building is placed in a
condition or state of readiness and availability for a
specifically assigned function.
• If you plan on monetizing the Credit, it is very
important to plan ahead and bring in any
partners/investors prior to the Placement in Service
date.
www.kleinhornig.com 25
26. The 20% Rehabilitation Tax Credit
Who Can Claim the Credit?
• The Credits belong to the taxpayer(s) that owns title
to the property when the QREs are placed in service.
• A landlord that incurs QREs can elect to pass the
credit to its long-term tenants.
• When property owner is a pass through entity, the
Credits are allocated in accordance with taxable
profits.
www.kleinhornig.com 26
27. The 20% Rehabilitation Tax Credit
How to Claim the Rehab Tax Credit
• Credits are claimed by filing IRS form 3468 along with
the tax return for the year in which the taxpayer claims
the credit.
• Part 3 Approval need not have already been obtained
(but generally must be obtained within 30 months of
tax return filing date)
28. Tax-Exempts and Historic Tax
Credits:
• Be aware of tax exempt use issues with Historic Tax
Credits
• Section 47 of the Code provides that QRE’s eligible
for Historic Credits do not include expenditures
allocable to the portion of the property which is (or
may reasonably be expected to be) “tax exempt use
property”.
• A tax exempt entity as an owner of or tenant in a
historic building can cause a loss of Historic Tax
Credits so careful structuring of any tax exempt
entity participation is required.
• Grants/donations to the owner of a historic building
can also cause tax issues and potential reduction of
Historic Tax Credits if not handled appropriately.
www.kleinhornig.com 28
29. Tax-Exempts and Historic Tax Credits:
• Tax Exempt Ownership:
─ Who is a Tax Exempt entity?*
•Governmental/State entities
•Any organization exempt from income taxes
(such as a 501(c)(3))
•Any foreign person or entity
•Any Indian tribal government
─ Can the Tax Exempt (or its sub-entity) make a
168(h) election to be taxed as a for-profit entity?
─ Will the same Tax Exempt be the end-user of the
Building?
*IRC Section 168(h)(2)(A)
www.kleinhornig.com 29
30. Tax-Exempts and Historic Tax Credits:
• Tax Exempt Use:
─ Specific limitations on Tax Exempt Use by end-user
tenants
─ 50% limitation (up from 35%)
What counts towards the limitation?
─ Qualified vs. Disqualified Leases to Tax Exempt
Entities
•Did the tax exempt participate in the financing?
•Is there a fixed purchase price/option to buy
under the Lease?
•Is the Lease term in excess of 20 years?
• Has there been a “sale/leaseback” with the Tax
Exempt
www.kleinhornig.com 30
31. The 20% Rehabilitation Tax Credit
Recapture
• Credit previously allowed is recaptured if any portion
of the project which includes QREs is disposed of
prior to the fifth anniversary of placement in service.
• Amount subject to recapture decreases by 20%
during each year of the five year period.
• Disposition includes any sale, exchange, transfer, gift
or casualty. Subsequent rehabs that do not comply
with the Secretary’s Standards can trigger recapture.
www.kleinhornig.com 31
32. Recapture Risks
Recapture Risks:
Building ceases to be investment credit property
Subsequent rehabilitation of the building that does
not meet National Park Service standards;
Building is otherwise converted to an improper
use, such as personal use or goes out of service
Over 50% of the Building is leased to a tax-exempt
entity
www.kleinhornig.com 32
33. Recapture Risks
Recapture Risks:
Change of Ownership of owner/lessee
If the Investor sells more than 1/3 of its investment
in the entity claiming the credit (owner or lessee)
If the owner is claiming the credit and the building
is foreclosed on or sold, resulting in a change in
ownership of the building. For example, where the
tenants go dark and the general partner/developer
does not have funds to support the owner’s debt
service payments.
If the lessee is claiming the credit in a lease pass-through,
and the master lease is terminated.,
including where the tenants go dark as above.
Too much nonqualified non-recourse financing
www.kleinhornig.com 33
34. Recapture Mitigants
Recapture Risk Mitigants:
The historic property owner contractually agrees to:
not alter the appearance of the building or convert it to an
improper use,
not take any actions or inactions that would cause recapture,
not alter the ownership structure of the property, or, if
applicable, terminate the master lease
BUT under the recent safe harbor, not able to guarantee
“structure risk”.
Historic consultant or architect monitor the rehabilitation, and
certify regarding the rehabilitation meeting NPS standards
Non-disturbance agreements are entered into by the lender so that
the lender is allowed to foreclose but must not interrupt the master
lease (unless in default).
Casualty insurance, including HTC insurance, alleviates liability for
destruction of the historic property.
Underwriting of tenants to assure rent payments and guarantees of
creditworthy developer or general partner.

41. Recent Developments: Case Law
Virginia Historic Tax Credit Fund 2001 LP v. CIR (3/2011)
Tax Treatment of state tax credits
Fourth Circuit decision reverses Tax Court (12/2009)
Having major impact on state tax credit structuring
Consolidated Edison Company Inc. of New York v. United States,
No. 2012-5040,(Fed. Cir. January 9, 2013)
While not a historic tax credit case, the case changes how
put options are evaluated
Historic Boardwalk Hall, LLC v. Commissioner, No. 11-1832 (3rd
Cir., August 27, 2012)
Case appealed to 3rd Circuit, and 3rd Circuit reversed the Tax
Court
www.kleinhornig.com 41
42. Historic Boardwalk Hall: Conclusions
• The appeals court decision was primarily decided on the
investor not being a partner in the transaction
• The decision did NOT provide any “bright line” guidance to
restructure transactions, nor did it spell out any actions that
could be taken by an investor to be deemed a partner
• It is possible to draw some preliminary conclusions and/or
recommendations based on the decision, but the tax credit
industry is still in flux months later
• Post HBH, historic tax credit deal structuring is being
changed to maximize the potential for the investor being a
partner in the transaction with a focus on downside risk and
upside potential.
• IRS Guidance (Revenue Procedure 2014-12) released in
early 2014
• Most deals now are being structured to comply with the
safe harbor featured in the Revenue Procedure
www.kleinhornig.com 42
43. Revenue Procedure 2014-12
• Establishes a “safe harbor” for structuring transactions
• Does not address other tax credits
• By following the terms of the Guidance, developers can be
certain that the HTC generated by an investment will be
allocated to the Investor and that Investor will be respected
as a Partner
• No minimum amount of cash needs to be distributed to the
Investor (and recent discussions with Treasury confirm this
approach), therefore economic substance issues are now
less important
• Investor must receive reasonably anticipated value,
exclusive of tax benefits, commensurate with the Investor’s
percentage interest in the Partnership
www.kleinhornig.com 43
44. Revenue Procedure 2014-12
• “Commensurate” being interpreted to mean that cash flow and
residual distributions in accordance with the % interest of the
Investor (99% interest then 99% distributions)
• But a “Flip” of interests is allowed after year 5
• At least a 5% interest must be maintained, but possible to “flip”
the investor from a 99% interest to a 5% interest
• BUT economic value of the Investor’s Interest must not be reduced
through fees, lease terms or other arrangements that are
“unreasonable” compared to non-HTC projects
• This will require additional underwriting and review
• Subleases are directly challenged
• Developer Fees and Incentive Management Fees are also
at issue if they are cash flow based fees
• Investor preferred returns are permitted, but they can’t be
guaranteed
www.kleinhornig.com 44
45. Revenue Procedure 2014-12
Downside Risk
• At least 20% of investor equity must be contributed prior to
placement in service
• At least 75% of the Investor’s total expected capital
contributions must be fixed before placement in service
• But this 75% portion may be subject to conditions such as placement
in service, stabilization or receipt of Part 3 approval
• Guaranties:
• Funded guaranties not allowed (including minimum net worth)
• Impermissible guaranties include:
• Guaranty of partnership distributions or economic returns
• Tax structure risk or other disallowance or recapture events not
due to an act or omission of the Developer
• Can’t pay costs of audit
• 100% structure risk now on the Investor (likely to create an
incentive for investors to meet the guidance)
www.kleinhornig.com 45
46. Revenue Procedure 2014-12
• The Investor may hold an option to put its interest to the
developer at an amount not to exceed FMV
• Developer may not have a call right at FMV, but because of
the ability to structure a “flip” in interests after the
compliance period, there is some ability to structure around
this issue
• The Investor is now going to receive additional cash flow
during the compliance period, and the exit will be less
certain.

47. Next Steps
• Due to HBH, a limited investor market has become smaller.
It is unclear if the guidance will change that dynamic.
• Meeting the Safe Harbor effectively means the investor is
treated as a partner in the transaction.
• Difficult to structure “sandwich lease” transactions due to
lack of upside potential, and requirement of sublease being
mandated by a 3rd party
• Many investors are requiring a “Fairness Opinion/Report”
regarding certain fees (developer fees, management fees,
lease payments)
• Potential investment pricing considerations:
• More risk = lower tax credit equity
• More Cash Flow to Investor = More tax credit equity
• Issue of Treatment of Section 50(d) income in HTC Pass-
Through Transaction
