Public Finance Matters Can Be Sensitive. We Can Help.
Lashly & Baer, P.C., regularly represents both public and conduit borrowers in the issuance of tax-exempt bonds. Through the years, we have had extensive experience with virtually all parties involved: industrial development authorities, land clearance for redevelopment authorities, planned industrial expansion authorities, land reutilization authorities, local development companies, community development agencies, and other government entities authorized to issue bonds.
We have undertaken a comprehensive analysis of state and federal innovative financing mechanisms available for infrastructure development projects. This includes the United States Department of Transportation’s state infrastructure bank program, federal tax credits and state tax credits available to private entities contributing funds for infrastructure development.
