AI Summary

This bill establishes a Massachusetts artist workspace tax credit. The credit is available to taxpayers who construct or renovate buildings in designated cultural districts to provide workspace for artists. The Department of Housing and Community Development will administer the program, authorizing up to $20 million in credits annually. The credits can be claimed equally over 5 years and are not refundable, but can be carried forward. The bill also allows taxpayers to receive the credit in the form of a loan by transferring the credit to the Department. The goal is to increase the Commonwealth's stock of affordable artist workspace.
