Mar 24, 09 | 1:57 am By Jim Butler and the Global Hospitality GroupĀ® – Hotel Lawyers | Authors of www.HotelLawBlog.com On March 15, Hotel Attorney, Catherine Holmes, sat down with our good friend, Valerie Red-Horse of Red-Horse Financial Group, to talk about how the American Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 will help tribal governments finance new hotel developments on tribal land. Valerie is a leading investment banker for tribal development projects, including gaming resorts, hotels, conference centers and other developments, and has helped tribal governments all over the United States develop over $2 billion of projects over the last ten years. Based on her years of experience, Valerie knows the problems that tribal governments have had obtaining tax-exempt financing, and the opportunities that the new law will present to tribes seeking to develop hotels and other projects on their reservation lands.
