From startup to cleanup, we have successfully navigated the environmental considerations of a variety of projects.

    State & Local Tax

    We work with representatives from manufacturing businesses to plan for the tax implications of proposed transactions, stay up to date with compliance procedures, resolve any controversies related to state and local taxation, and work through tax abatements, credits and other non-tax incentives.

    Economic Development Financing

    Utilizing the economic development tools that best suit our clients’ goals, we structure and layer resources, connecting government entities and private developers with available financial incentives. We are highly experienced with tax increment financing (TIF), special assessments, community redevelopment abatements (CRA), enterprise zone (EZ) abatements, joint economic development districts (JEDD), and local tax credits.

Our longstanding service to companies, associations and coalitions, especially the Ohio Manufacturer’s Association, has earned us an effective voice with legislators and regulators.
