Complete the Proposed Project Summary Form to present New Markets Tax Credits-eligible investment projects for allocation consideration.

New Market Tax Credit eligibility lists. The list of eligible areas below is by county and based on US Census Tracts. Census tracts follow no logical pattern, sometimes following rivers, roads, rail lines or just arbitrary boundaries. The CDFI Fund established the criteria for identifying eligible tracts. It is based on low-income population, unemployment rates and out-migration. Dakotas America LLC will place its allocation in qualifying businesses in distressed, low-income, rural communities. Please refer to the Power Point presentation in the Overview Section for more details.
