Project Spotlight: The Historic Mercantile Building A Ten Thousand Year Lease: Cincinnati's Mercantile Library This renovation not only provided much-needed housing but also expanded the 189-year-old Mercantile Library. The project, made possible by federal Historic Tax Credits and Ohio’s Transformational Mixed Use Development Credit (TMUD), highlights how state initiatives drive community revitalization. “NTCIC knows how to turn tax credits into cash that is needed to build the project. They were our first and top choice [of partner] because we knew that they’d have the scale, expertise, and sophistication to put it together with us,” said the developer from the Model Group.

📗 The new Co-City case story analyzes the intricate institutional framework supporting the operations of the CLT, focusing on its public-private #Governance, #Economic and #SocialSharing, #Experimentation, and #Integration of #TechnologicalJustice.
