I was not able to attend this fabulous event, but I am sure the consummation of many didn’t go unperturbed. And I am very sure my man of the hour, President Michael McMillian stood in attendance to make the moment all worth while.
As he should, because St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones, along with others announced that the St.Louis Urban League regional headquarters would be granted 10 million dollars in tax credit. Yes, you read that effectively, now here is a recap from Mr. McMillian.

LOUIS LAST NIGHT AT OUR 105th ANNUAL DINNER BY MAYOR TISHAURA JONES AND SLDC EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR NEAL RICHARDSON AND TAX CREDIT DIRECTOR BILL SEDDON (pictured below). We are incredibly grateful for our partnership with the City of St. Louis on many different levels to provide resources to the people that need them the most along with this infusion of resources into our new regional headquarters at the Old Sears Building/ V. Roberts Building! Our work continues to revitalize our city focusing on the areas that have experienced the most disinvestment. #ULSTL #CITYOFSTLOUIS #URBANLEAGUE #MayorTishauraJones #SLDC #NewMarketTaxCredits #UrbanRenewal

Please note:
What is a tax credit worth?
Tax credits directly reduce the amount of tax you owe, giving you a dollar-for-dollar reduction of your tax liability. A tax credit valued at $1,000, for instance, lowers your tax bill by the corresponding $1,000. Tax deductions, on the other hand, reduce how much of your income is subject to taxes.
