While summer is a time for relaxing and rejuvenating, the Semaphore staff is going to be reviewing projects, diligently negotiating contracts, finalizing deals and closing multi-party agreements in order to fulfill our latest allocation of New Markets Tax Credits funding.   Semaphore has been operating Pacesetter CDE since 2010 and last year entered into an agreement with its majority shareholders, Wells Fargo and Bank of America, to acquire 100% of the stock of the firm.  We are pleased to announce that a $30 Million New Markets Tax Credit Allocation has been awarded to us in the latest round from the U.S. Treasury Department's Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) Fund.  Semaphore is one of just 85 Community Development Entities (CDEs) throughout the nation that has received an award this year. The New Markets Tax Credit allocations have assisted hundreds of low-income communities with the help of private investment capital.  We are excited that our good fortune allows us to actively continue to participate in revitalizing communities and creating jobs to improve distressed areas around the nation. So…while you are enjoying your sun filled activities, keep us in mind if your beach towel discussions turn to equity investments in low income communities; we would love to hear about any projects in which you think we can assist.  Have a safe and profitable summer! *Louise Martineau is the Director of Operations at Semaphore*. *Semaphore (*[*www.sema4usa.com *](http://www.sema4usa.com/)*) is a leading global professional services provider of Private Equity and Venture Capital funds-under-management and diligence services.
