But what financing tools might they be overlooking?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode of <em>FTI Experts\u2019 Hub<\/em>, <em>CPE<\/em> Executive Editor Laura Valean sits down with McRae Thompson, senior managing director &amp; co-leader of U.S. Tax Advisory in the Real Estate Solutions practice at FTI Consulting, to explore how companies can finance large-scale onshore manufacturing developments at a time when federal support may not be as generous\u2014or as easy to access\u2014as many expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/tsmc-advances-165b-investment-plan-with-new-capital-injection\/\">semiconductors<\/a> and advanced battery manufacturing to AI-enabling infrastructure, biotech, EV production, critical minerals and steel processing, the next wave of industrial development is increasingly tied to supply chain resilience and local economic growth. But according to Thompson, the most meaningful incentives are often not found in Washington, D.C. They\u2019re negotiated at the state and local level, where governments can use property tax abatements, sales and use tax exemptions, job creation credits and other tools to compete for transformative projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LISTEN TO:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/inside-industrial-automation-power-proximity\/\">Inside Industrial Podcast\u2014Automation, Power &amp; Proximity<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The conversation also takes a closer look at industrial revenue bonds, a financing mechanism that can help lower borrowing costs and, in some cases, provide significant upfront project financing. Thompson explains how IRBs work, how they differ from grants and tax credits, what types of developments may qualify, and why they can be especially valuable for multibillion-dollar projects that need certainty over long periods of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the full conversation to learn why localized capital strategies may play a defining role in the next chapter of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/why-industrials-booming-on-the-southern-border\/\">U.S. industrial growth<\/a>.
