Development and Business Financing Incentives

In today’s environment for real estate development and financing, generating an acceptable return on equity can be challenging.  Arrowhead Park can assist in overcoming this challenge through its eligibility for a range of investment incentives including EB-5 financing, New Market Tax Credits, New Mexico LEDA (Local Economic Development Incentive funds), and the most recent enactment of the Opportunity Zone Tax Incentives.   As Arrowhead Park also qualifies as a “rural” site, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development Loan Guarantee program may also be utilized.

While each of these have their own specific advantages and requirements for the investor, it is also possible in New Mexico for developers and investors to “stack” these incentives to gain the greatest return possible.

Depending on the business your investment is designed to support, there are also a range of industry-specific incentives and credits provided by the State of New Mexico. Our regional representative for the New Mexico Department of Economic Development, Christine Logan, is available to assist you with understanding and packaging all of these to the benefit of your project.

The links below also provide a great deal of useful information to help you sort through the opportunities.  Please contact us (see Contact link on this website) to learn more.

Arrowhead Park looks forward to working with you to make the greatest possible use of these incentives in locating your business here!
