Recording of a 90-minute premium CLE video webinar with Q&A
This CLE webinar will analyze the key features of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) that have been particularly relevant to the commercial real estate industry over the past couple of years prior to the recent executive order from President Trump. The panel will discuss the production tax credit (PTC) and the investment tax credit (ITC) and how these incentives have been successfully utilized by the real estate industry. In addition, the panel will review the 179D Deduction, which encourages energy-efficient building improvements, the credits available for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, and more. The panel will also discuss the potential effects of President Trump's new executive order on clean energy projects going forward.
