Creating Local Development Opportunities

At Sosin, Arnold & Schoenbeck Ltd., we understand that municipal incentives are used to point development efforts in a direction that best serves the needs of the local community. They may be used to redevelop blighted areas, to stimulate economic growth, to establish new industries in a given region, and to create local jobs. Some incentives may be very limited in their scope, while others are more general. Our attorneys are equipped to help you find available incentive programs or to develop original incentive proposals designed to benefit your intended project as well as the city or village.

Our attorneys realize that municipal incentives often offer tax advantages and other considerations over the course of several years. While your incentive agreement is in place, complications may arise with its execution. Local economies can be volatile, and public opinion regarding certain issues can change quickly. At Sosin, Arnold & Schoenbeck Ltd., we will remain at your side for the duration of your incentive agreement, regardless of the challenges you encounter.
