Public Finance

With the significant growth of New Markets Tax Credits and the EB-5 program in particular, and various statewide economic development initiatives, government funding has become an increasingly important way to create pricing advantages, strengthen commercialization strategies, fund R&D, and support facility expansions. Given the competitive nature of the application process and the limited funding resources available, economic development agencies, businesses, and non-profits are realizing the need for expert consultation with respect to these project financing opportunities.

KMK Consulting helps clients in securing government funding from the wide variety of state and federal programs. There are state (such as Ohio’s Third Frontier program) and federal grant and incentive opportunities for for-profit businesses ranging from start-up companies to Fortune 500 companies. In addition, there are many grant and incentive opportunities for economic development organizations, as well as institutions of higher education, municipalities, and not-for-profit organizations.

KMKC possesses the experience and knowledge of the government funding process to assist you in maximizing the success of your project. Upon receipt of your award, and the successful closing of your transaction, KMKC will also work with you to ensure that the project remains in compliance with evolving state and federal regulations.
