📄 Podcast Description:
This week on the Tax Credit Talk, hosts Hallie James and Parker An take you coast to coast with the latest updates across housing, clean energy, and film tax credits revealing how shifting policy is reshaping industries in real time.
🏘️ In housing, New Jersey is stepping in with $500 million in new tax credits to close LIHTC funding gaps and jumpstart middle-income developments. At the federal level, three new bipartisan bills aim to cut red tape on environmental reviews, giving states and cities more control—and more speed.
⚡ Clean energy credits face a turning point as President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act rolls back major incentives. The 30% solar tax credit vanishes by year-end, alongside credits for EVs and energy-efficient home upgrades. The result? A consumer rush, installer bottlenecks, and a looming question about U.S. competitiveness in the global solar market.
🎥 In film, North Carolina reflects on what was lost—and what could be regained. The state’s once-thriving production sector is still struggling to match neighboring Georgia’s booming, uncapped tax incentives. A growing number of lawmakers say it’s time to bring robust film credits back and reignite the industry.
