Novogradac & Company LLP to Host Tax Credit Housing Finance Conference Nov. 29-30 in Las Vegas, Nev.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) October 12, 2012
On November 29-30, affordable housing leaders from across the country will gather at the Four Seasons Las Vegas to examine innovative and vital solutions that lead to successful projects, as well as how the low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) is a crucial part of the equation. Developers, lenders, investors, accountants, attorneys, agency officials and other members of the affordable housing industry come together each year for Novogradac & Company LLP’s Tax Credit Housing Finance Conference, where they discuss industry and market changes, strategies, public policy and the very latest in LIHTC development financing.
“Everyone in the affordable housing industry knows how important it is to collectively reflect on our industry practices so that we can continue to identify ways to deal with new challenges and grow our level of knowledge and expertise, especially related to financial matters,” says Mike Morrison, conference chair and partner in the San Francisco office of Novogradac & Company LLP. “As affordable housing practitioners face greater challenges, and as transactions become more sophisticated, engineering a project that pencils out has become an increasingly complex undertaking. The Tax Credit Housing Finance Conference gives attendees the opportunity to share their ideas while diving into the the types of innovative financing that will lead to the development of more affordable housing.”
The information presented at the conference, both practical and theoretical, is designed to benefit those of all levels of knowledge and experience. Expert panelists—industry veterans hand-picked for their expertise—will focus on newly passed and upcoming legislation, the current debt and equity markets and other hot topics, including limited partner issues in Year 15, twinning LIHTCs and renewable energy tax credits and blending HUD subsidies into a project’s financing.
The event will also feature three pre-conference workshops on Wednesday, Nov. 28: LIHTC 101: The Basics, LIHTC 301: Advanced LIHTC Financing and HUD 101: Understanding Multifamily Programs. Separate registration is required and additional fees apply.
An LIHTC Property Compliance Workshop will be held in conjunction with the conference. The two-day workshop on Nov. 29 and 30 is designed to educate and provide a refresher to property managers who seek a deeper understanding of LIHTC compliance issues.
The Tax Credit Housing Finance Conference is co-hosted by SNR Denton. Sponsors include Boston Financial Investment Management, Bryan Cave LLP, Centerline Capital Group, Enterprise, Hunt, IFG Capital Tax Credit Solutions, National Equity Fund Inc., PNC Real Estate, Polsinelli Shughart PC, Prudential Mortgage Capital Company, RBC Capital Markets—Tax Credit Equity Group, Red Stone Equity Partners LLC, The Richman Group, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, Stratford Capital Group LLC, and WNC & Associates Inc.

This enormous expansion is in addition to Green Planet Water’s steadily gaining shelf-share in HMS HOST International Airport kiosk locations across the US. “We consider our brand the preferred water for travelers,” said Green Planet CEO Danny Rubenstein.
Green Planet’s unique 100% plant-based bottle is derived from completely renewable plant resources. The bottle is recyclable, commercially compostable and reusable when hand-washed between uses.
“We are a society on the go and access to bottled water is a necessity,” said Janet DiGiovanna, Chief Marketing Officer of Green Planet Bottling. “When we’re traveling, we need an alternative choice, and Green Planet is the better bottle. We know that travelers appreciate Green Planet’s wide availability with HMS Host.” Green Planet’s petroleum and BPA free bottle is filled with vapor distilled water, with minerals carefully added for taste, in three retail sizes: 350 ml, 500ml, and 1 liter.

The bottles are recyclable (in all recycling programs that accept #7 bottles). (3)

Regional distribution ensures that less fuel is wasted to transport the bottles.

Exergy Tour Unveils Names of Host Cities for Inaugural Ladies Pro Cycling Race
Boise, Idaho (PRWEB) February 13, 2012
The Exergy Tour international ladies pro cycling race today revealed the selected host cities for the 2012 inaugural race, which will be held May 24 – 28. The five day stage race will begin and end in Boise, and will travel through alpine, high desert and sprint stages in the cities of Nampa, Kuna, Crouch/Garden Valley and Idaho City, covering an estimated 200-plus miles.
Between 10 and 15 of the top ladies pro cycling teams from around the world are expected to participate in the inaugural race, which was founded by Boise-based Exergy Development Group. The race will be one of the last races to provide international ranking points crucial to qualifying for the upcoming Olympic Games in London. It is sanctioned by USA Cycling and is the only ladies race in North America in 2012 with a 2.1 designation by the International Cycling Union (UCI).
“The Exergy Tour will showcase the power and excitement of women’s professional cycling and its growing global influence, while engaging our communities in teaching young girls the benefits gained through individual and team sports,” said James Carkulis, CEO of Exergy Development Group. “Our vision with the Exergy Tour is to communicate this global message and work with organizations who also are dedicated to advancing the self-confidence, self-esteem and overall well-being of girls and women through physical activity.”
Day one of the race will take place near Boise. Day two will take place in and around Nampa. From there, teams will race through the high desert of Kuna, then on to the alpine stage of Crouch/Garden Valley and Idaho City, and back to Boise on the final day. Because the host cities are all within an hour’s drive of each other, the course enables volunteers and spectators to easily travel to each leg of the race throughout the long weekend.
“I’m thrilled to see such a world-class cycling competition emerge in our community,” said Boise Mayor David Bieter. “Boise has long been a training ground for many local Olympians, and it’s wonderful to see it become a major hub for premier athletic events. The Exergy Tour will shine the spotlight of international cycling on our city as it attracts some of the best athletes in the world to compete prior to the 2012 Olympics. I encourage all Boise residents to come out and see what promises to be an exciting and inspirational event.”
Official race announcements including the Exergy Tour’s list of participating teams, charitable partner, prize money and individual stage details will be released over the next 4-6 weeks.
“The Exergy Tour will be an opportunity for spectators in local Idaho communities to see many of the same athletes who will be competing just two months later at the London Olympic Games,” said Heather Hill, marketing, communications and events director for the Exergy Tour. “Idaho and our host cities will be on the world’s cycling stage for five days over the Memorial Day weekend, and through our selection of host cities this year, spectators and volunteers are able to show support and participate within easy driving distance every day of the Tour.”
Medalist Sports will oversee the competition and technical production of the Exergy Tour, as well as the development of the local organizing committees in each start and finish venue. Medalist also is the event management arm for the Amgen Tour of California, USA Pro Cycling Challenge in Colorado and the Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah.
