Jared Kushner built luxury condos using real estate grants meant for poor communities
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/05/jared-kushner-built-luxury-condos-using-real-estate-grants-meant-for-poor-communities-report/
Among the flurry of articles surrounding President Donald Trumps adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner, one of the less headline-grabbing stories centers on some of Kushners more unsavory business practices at the helm of his familys real estate company.
Those stories got a boost with a new Washington Post report that details how Kushner utilized a legal loophole that critics compare to gerrymandering to apply for a federal program that saved him $50 million on his companys luxury condos in Jersey City, New Jersey, just across the Hudson River from Manhattan.
The EB-5 visa program Kushner and his business partners used to build the luxury towers at 65 Bay Street on the Hudson River waterfront made it appear that the luxury tower was in an area with extraordinarily high unemployment, allowing Kushner Companies and its partners to get $50 million in low-cost financing through the EB-5 visa program, according to the Posts Shawn Boburg.
At the same time, Boburg wrote, they excluded some wealthy neighborhoods only blocks away.
