This bill makes two changes to Kentucky's New Markets Development Program, which offers tax credits to encourage investment in low-income communities. It doubles the annual cap on available tax credits from $10 million to $20 million, and it allows investors who reinvest repaid funds into another qualifying project within the same year to keep their eligibility for the credit without interruption. Who it may affect: businesses and investors participating in the New Markets Development Program, and low-income communities that may receive increased investment as a result.
