Securities AttorneyThere have been many successful EB-5 projects that have funded infrastructure. In certain past cases, funding the infrastructure portion of a project has allowed the EB-5 investors to claim credit for all of the job creation associated with the project. You would need to consult with an EB-5 specialist to determine if your project qualifies. In general, EB-5 investors can get job creation credit for the induced and indirect jobs resulting from their project, in addition to direct jobs. This could provide some additional funding for residential projects that can be very helpful to developers.
