SPOTLIGHT: WaterFire Arts Center
 

The WaterFire Arts Center opened in May 2017. This $14 million project utilized a combination of New Markets Tax Credits (NMTC), federal and state historic tax credits, Rhode Island Cultural Facilities Bond funds, and philanthropic community support. The project was featured on the covers of the September 2016 Tax Credit Advisor magazine, and the May 2017 Novogradac Journal of Tax Credits. Both articles highlight the twinning of the NMTC and the historic credits. Please see the News page on our website for details.
