Neighborhood Assistance Act (NAA) Tax Credit Program

The Town of Windsor will be participating in the State of Connecticut's 2012 Neighborhood Assistance Act (NAA) Tax Credit Program.  The NAA Program, administered through the state's Department of Revenue Services, benefits eligible non-profit organizations and municipal entities, by providing a financial inducement to corporate donors.  Donors approved for participation receive a 60% tax credit against their corporate state tax liability, and up to a 100% tax credit for certain energy conservation projects as well as employment and training projects, subject to certain restrictions.

Organizations interested in learning more specific guidelines for the program should contact the Community Development Office at 860-285-1985.  Applications are due May 25, 2012.

This program does not cost the town any direct cash outlay or loss of revenue as this is a State program.

Special Town Meeting on Dollar Tree Tax Abatement
