In Waterfront Development Tax Credit, further providing for waterfront development organizations, for waterfront development projects, for tax credit and for limitations.
Bad for everyday people ·

Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Citizens could see more waterfront construction, but the tax breaks mean less money for state services, and developers gain a financial edge.
