Economic Development Incentives

Given the complexity of economic development incentives, a firm’s experience, knowledge and community relationships can make the difference between a development or real estate project going forward or being delayed, shelved, or green-lighted.  Having crafted many of the current available policies and incentive programs, the law firm’s attorneys have in-depth knowledge of the intricate workings of state and local government incentive programs.  Working closely with clients, the attorneys strive to develop the best economic incentive package, choosing from the myriad of programs available in Missouri and Kansas.

Missouri and Kansas have numerous economic development incentive programs. Some of these, such as tax  increment financing and urban redevelopment corporations, are administered solely at the local government level. Others, like tax credits, income tax incentives, and other job creation programs  involve state agencies such as the Missouri Department of Economic Development and the Kansas Department of Commerce.  The law firm’s attorneys have successfully negotiated billions of dollars in incentives for clients while advancing development throughout the Midwest.  They do so from a solid base of knowledge and experience.  In fact, Michael White literally wrote the book on Economic Development & Incentives in Missouri.
