The New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) Coalition has released the 2018 NMTC Progress Report, documenting the flexibility and importance of the NMTC in meeting needs in distressed communities nationwide. This 14th annual report from the NMTC Coalition is prepared based on 2017 surveys of national Community Development Entities (CDEs) on their work delivering billions of dollars to businesses, creating jobs, and rejuvenation parts of the country that have been left behind.

• 60,090 jobs created in 2017 through NMTC projects
• $5.8 Billion in total project costs in 2017 financed through NMTC
