As an English major at Wake Forest University, I had the privilege of taking a poetry class from the great Maya Angelou during my senior year. Dr. Angelou opened the first class by discussing burdens and barriers.

To remind us of the hard work and dedication put in to each project, by Travois and our clients, here is a look back at 2013.

Some highlights of the year:

Releasing $10,924,547 in developer fees for 25 Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) projects – an average of about $437,000 per project.

Greg Bland, director of environmental services, has officially worked at Travois for four years. We say officially because as David Bland and Marianne Roos’ son, he says he’s been involved for what seems like his whole life.

Mike Price, director of Travois Asset Management, has been with the company for four years.

Marie Allen, project coordinator, joined the development team in November last year. Marie helps clients define Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) projects based on state requirements and puts together applications for the state allocating agencies.

No question is a stupid question — especially when working on a Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) or New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) project.
