Economic empowerment in underdeveloped communities can benefit from the wonkily named federal New Market Tax Credit program. Now often used for property development, it has a legacy with supporting operating businesses in economically depressed parts of the country.
I spoke last month at the 16th annual New Market Tax Credits conference held in Miami, and I offered perspective on how tech communities are growing up adjacent to these communities of need.
People liked my sneakers. The conference was fun and full of smart people.
