Success Stories
The tax credits issue is possibly the slipperiest slope that exists out there, and no one can navigate that Alpine slope like Dee Smolik. We did use Dee to research the possibilities for our venue in Colorado, and found that it wasn’t practical, but it was a thorny question that needed to be researched and was well worth the cost.
As with marriage or a commitment to be a lifelong Houston Astros fan, this is not an undertaking to be engaged in lightly or remotely cavalierly, so you owe it to yourself to hire one of the very few experts out there, and Dee is certainly one of a rare breed.
If you are looking for someone to be creative and guide you through the morass of New Market Tax Credits, look no further. Dee is efficient, effective and creative.
She has contacts in the national niche community that works with New Markets and brings projects together with the resources needed to make them happen. We expect to use her services again.
