The Missouri Department of Natural Resources’ Brownfields/Voluntary Cleanup Program
(BVCP), under a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), conducts Site-Specific Assessments of Brownfield properties for public entities such
as cities, counties and quasi-governmental entities, as well as properties owned by not-forprofit organizations across the state. Often, local governments acquire contaminated
properties through foreclosure for back taxes, land donations, or may own property they
would like to sell for redevelopment purposes. These entities sometimes have difficulty
finding adequate funding to pay for environmental assessments (All Appropriate Inquiries,
Phase I and Phase II Assessments) prior to redevelopment. The Brownfields Site-Specific
Assessment program provides funding and technical assistance to help communities in
assessing properties. Often, it is the unknown environmental condition of the property that
dissuades developers. Brownfields Site-Specific Assessments provide valuable information
that can aid in making decisions regarding the future of the property. The BVCP, first
established by the state legislature in 1994, also provides state oversight for the voluntary
cleanup of properties contaminated with hazardous substances. The BVCP is a nonenforcement program designed to help property owners, business operators, or prospective
buyers. It provides "closure" when the property is cleaned up to approved specifications and
standards acceptable to the state. This “closure” can greatly reduce the environmental
liability associated with such properties, thereby facilitating property transactions.

Preserve your cash while preserving history. At Anders, we’ll show you how. To reap the
benefits of using historic tax credits for your project, it is critical to understand how to
control costs and increase your return on investment. Our familiarity with these and other
tax credits has helped us save thousands of dollars for our clients. One way to increase your
cost savings is to spend a few hours with a member of the Anders Historic Tax Credit team
at the beginning of the renovation project. We’ll get you ready for the required CPA
Examination of the Project Expenditures List (EXP-Form). To keep you organized and in
compliance, we’ve even developed a simple tracking system. Once the project is complete,
we can then efficiently, and cost effectively perform the EXP-Form examination. With a
team dedicated to the real estate and construction industries, Anders can also provide
services ranging from tax preparation, cost segregation studies, audits to accounting system
implementation and valuation. Anders is large enough to offer you the most advanced
services but right sized enough to provide the individual attention you deserve

appropriate architectural design that creates a memorable sense of place.
We create places for people. The central focus of our firm is the creation of quality spaces
that are people places. Our architecture is not so much about making something for people
only to look at, but about making spaces for people to experience. As well as maintaining
and celebrating the history of place.

get great satisfaction in creating quality projects – through both good design and execution
– and providing quality service to our clients. We work hard to not only discover the right

Above all, we believe in honoring our commitments to our developers and investors.
Honoring our commitments, and providing what we believe is the best service in the
industry, has led to exceptional client loyalty. Gardner Capital was founded in 2008 by Mark
Gardner as a successor to an earlier company, Carlson-Gardner, Inc., which was formed in
1993. Prior to forming entering the tax credit arena, Mr. Gardner practiced law, representing
clients in the areas of business law, commercial law, real estate development and real estate
finance. As part of that practice he represented numerous tax credit syndication clients. We
have assembled a professional team with a broad scope of experience from
development to property management to finance, and with diverse educational
backgrounds, from engineers, to paralegals, to MBAs to JDs. We have in-house
counsel to provide prompt, cost-effective legal advice on documents, due diligence and
compliance matters. Many investors rely almost exclusively on us to coordinate the due
diligence process. Due diligence begins with an extensive underwriting analysis in order to
evaluate the economic feasibility of the proposed project, and includes a comprehensive tax
credit compliance review. Just as vital to a successful tax credit investment is postcompletion asset management to monitor a property’s ongoing financial performance and
tax credit compliance. Our Asset Management team reviews property financials, tracks
insurance and taxes, and performs audits for tax credit compliance – all summarized in
concise periodic reports to our investors. (8/15)

in Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota and Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Tax Credit
developments. What distinguishes EHCP from other state historic tax credit purchasers is its
use of a long-term investment structure to mitigate the tax implications upon the sale of the
tax credits to third-party purchasers, thus enhancing the benefit of the tax credits to the
developer. EHCP works with many tax credit purchasers and in limited cases will privately
place the credits. Projects with as little as $300,000 to those with over $12,000,000 in state
historic tax credits are suitable for EHCP’s participation. EHCP has, along with its affiliate
funds, invested in over $150,000,000 in more than 100 projects. The expertise of EHCP will
help your development team get the best value for its State Historic Preservation Tax
Credits.
