MEDA Webinar: Leverage Federal Opportunities for Growth & Innovation

MEDA Webinar: Leverage Federal Opportunities for Growth & Innovation

This webinar is designed to help businesses, community leaders, and stakeholders understand key provisions of the act known as One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) and how they can leverage these opportunities for growth and innovation.
 
We will explore critical topics, including:
  • Opportunity Zones
  • New tax credits, such as the Employer-Provided Childcare Tax Credit and the R&D Tax Credit
  • Updates to energy provisions and related tax incentives
  • The advanced manufacturing tax credit
  • Small business provisions
Attendees will gain practical insights into how these changes may affect their operations and learn strategies to maximize the benefits available to them.
 
Speakers
Nadia Abunasser, Federal Opportunities Director, Michigan Economic Development Corporation
Jordan Fazio, Senior Director, Source Advisors
Michael Matthews, Director of Government Relations, National Association of Development Organizations
Jennifer Rigterink, Assistant Director, State & Federal Affairs, Michigan Municipal League
 
Thank You to Our Sponsor

SMG QROF (SMG Qualified Rural Opportunity Fund) supports long-term community investment and economic development across Northern Michigan and other qualifying rural Opportunity Zones. We help educate investors, business owners, and local stakeholders on how Opportunity Zone policy can catalyze housing, operating businesses, and essential infrastructure—while encouraging responsible, place-based outcomes. Our focus is building a practical pipeline of Qualified Opportunity Zone Businesses (QOZBs) and projects that can strengthen communities through job creation, improved services, and durable assets.
