Steven Polivy, Economic Development & Incentives Practice Chair and New York Office Managing Partner, and Scott Bettridge, were quoted multiple times in The Real Deal's special report on the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. The special, which ran in the publication's June 2015 New York edition, covered the dynamics behind the increasingly popular program, which is scheduled for reauthorization this fall. The publication provided an overview of EB-5 financing data for notable development projects in New York City and highlighted Akerman's involvement in landmark developments in the region. Polivy and Bettridge talked about several EB-5 financing trends, with an eye toward the growing pool of foreign investors in China, Latin America and others.
