Partnering with communities and businesses to forge pathways to lasting economic prosperity.

about forked pine consulting

With experience stretching back to some of the earliest new markets transactions, we've been the trusted confidant for communities and businesses navigating the intricacies of economic development finance.

Forked Pine is an economic development incentives firm focusing on small businesses and non-profits seeking to begin or expand operations in economically distressed areas. We utilize the full range of local, state, and federal incentives to increase access to capital for our clients. We were involved with the first New Markets Tax Credits transaction in Oklahoma in 2003 and have used USDA programs, TIF, CPACE, Historic Tax Credits, Opportunity Zones and have negotiated various types of sales, use, and property tax exemptions for clients. With over 35 years combined experience and more than $1 billion in incentives obtained through dozens of successful transactions, we are uniquely qualified to find creative solutions to capital needs.
