October 30, 2009 4:31 PM EDT

M&I Bank (M&I) announced it received a $40 million allocation of New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) authority in the latest round of awards from the Department of Treasury.

The federal government's New Markets Tax Credit program will enable M&I to offer below-market interest rates and less expensive loans for the development of office, industrial, retail, residential, and community facilities in Wisconsin, Arizona, Florida, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, and Missouri.

In 2006, M&I was a recipient of a NMTC allocation and successfully deployed $75 million in tax credits in 2007 throughout M&I's markets. The NMTC 2007 deployment resulted in M&I underwriting 29 loans.

Created by Congress in 2000, NMTC is a federal tax program designed to help spur investment in businesses located in lower-income communities. Investors in the program's Community Development Entities will receive a credit against their federal income taxes over the seven-year period.

M&I Bank is an affiliate of Marshall & Ilsley Corporation (NYSE: MI), a diversified financial services corporation headquartered in Milwaukee, Wis., with $58.5 billion in assets.
