Project Finance
DECEMBER 2012 - CWM Attorneys Close on Financing for Historic Theater in St. Petersburg
On
December 21, 2012, CWM attorneys Delphine Carnes and Harriet Reynolds
closed on an innovative $5 million transaction in St. Petersburg,
Florida which utilized both federal and state new markets tax credits
(“NMTCs”) as well as grant funds from the City of St. Petersburg to
renovate the historic “Manhattan Casino,” a segregation era theater that
brought musical greats, including Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and
Count Basie, to St. Petersburg’s African-American community. CWM
represented Urban Development Solutions, Inc., a national community
development company, and its affiliates. The NMTC funding not only made
possible the restoration of the iconic Manhattan Casino and its rebirth
as an entertainment, community event and food service venue, but also
brought badly needed employment and economic opportunities to the
surrounding low-income neighborhood. The project has partnered with the
renowned Sylvia’s Soul Food Restaurant in Harlem to open a Sylvia’s
Soul Food location at the Manhattan Casino, which will offer the comfort
food and ambiance synonymous with the Sylvia name and will further spur
community revival.
