“It’s a collective effort,” adds Rourk, acknowledging policies coupled with the synergy of tax credits investment opportunities created an environment that has attracted individual investors, as well as corporate giants like Google and Amazon.

“Peter’s value to the organization cannot be overstated,” says George Strobel, MPC’s Co-CEO and Managing Director of Tax Credit Investments. “He is extremely smart with an investment perspective focused on each stakeholder’s success. That kind of leadership is crucial to our expansion. We’re fortunate that he has agreed to help lead us in this phase of our growth.”
