The Heartland Regional Investment Fund, LLC (“HRIF”) is a certified Community Development Entity, created by the St. Louis Economic Development Partnership (the “Partnership”), the Southwestern Illinois Development Authority, and the City of St. Charles, Missouri.
HRIF has received $150 million in New Market Tax Credit (“NMTC”) allocation authority from the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (the “CDFI”) of the U.S. Department of Treasury to stimulate investment and job creation in the St. Louis region – specifically, St. Louis County and the City of St. Charles in Missouri; and Madison, St. Clair, Clinton, and Bond counties in Illinois (the “Service Area”).
On September 1, 2021, HRIF was awarded $50 million in NMTC allocation authority from the CDFI’s 2020 Round (the “Award”). HRIF now seeks public input on eligible community development projects within the Service Area.
HRIF issues this Request for Proposals (the “RFP”) for developers, business owners, consultants, and other stakeholders to submit shovel ready and conceptually planned community development projects for HRIF’s consideration when deploying the Award in the coming years.
