Commissioner Anderson asks to hold New Markets Tax Credit letter for two weeks
Summary
Commissioner Bill Anderson asked the Committee of the Whole to hold a communication seeking to forward a letter on the New Markets Tax Credit program to the congressional delegation for two weeks while he finalizes language with staff; the motion passed 12-0.
Commissioner Bill Anderson asked the Committee of the Whole on June 25 to hold communication 2025-336, which would forward a letter to the state congressional delegation regarding the New Markets Tax Credit program, for two weeks while he finalizes the letter's language.
Anderson said, "I would ask the body to indulge me for a couple weeks while I get the final language of this done and work with, Kelly Sullivan to do so. Okay. So if we could hold it, that would be fabulous." He then made a motion to continue to hold the communication for two weeks, which the clerk recorded as passing with a vote of "12 yay, 0 nay."
Why it matters: the New Markets Tax Credit program is a federal financing tool used to attract investment in low-income communities; forwarding a congressional letter is a formal step in the county expressing support or requesting attention from federal representatives. Anderson requested additional time to finalize the letter's wording with staff.
Details: Motion to hold communication 2025-336 for two weeks was made by Commissioner Bill Anderson and passed unanimously, recorded as 12–0 in favor.
