Mount Snow Selects NES Financial’s EB-5 Fund Administration and Immigration Workflow Solutions for Projects in the State of Vermont

NES Financial announced that Mount Snow has chosen to use the innovative EB-5 Fund Administration and EB-5 Immigration Workflow Solutions for two of their current projects with the State of Vermont Regional Center – the first state-run Regional Center in the country.

The EB-5 visa program, created in 1990, encourages investment into projects that stimulate U.S. job growth, while providing an opportunity for foreign nationals to become lawful permanent residents. In 1992, Congress enhanced the program by permitting the designation of EB-5 Regional Centers that coordinate and substantiate foreign investments into job-creating projects within a designated geographic area.

Mount Snow is a ski resort located in southern Vermont. The West Lake Water Project, a 120-million gallon water storage reservoir for snowmaking, will increase water storage capacity by six times and enable Mount Snow to make more snow and open more trails earlier in the season. The second project, Carinthia Ski Lodge, features a completely new three-story 36,000 square foot ski lodge with dining, retail, and skier services, as well as an expanded parking area and a welcome plaza. EB-5 funds will be used in the development of these projects that are expected to increase the amount of visitor traffic to Mount Snow in the years to come.

“We believe NES Financial provides the leading EB-5 administration and workflow solutions on the market,” said Richard Deutsch, one of the owners of Mount Snow. “We chose to deploy their solutions because we are committed to delivering the highest level of transparency to our investors and maximizing their potential for immigration success.”

“The State of Vermont Regional Center does not rest upon its past successes – we constantly strive to be a standard bearer for industry best practices,” said Brent Raymond, Executive Director of State of Vermont Regional Center. “In addition to reviewing and selecting quality projects, it is equally important for our project partners to embrace solutions that offer the highest levels of security, transparency, and compliance for all stakeholders.”

NES Financial’s suite of EB-5 solutions is designed specifically for the EB-5 industry. By combining purpose-built technology, administration services, expertise, and full audit trail capabilities, the company is able to deliver the most comprehensive suite of solutions on the market that benefit Regional Centers, developers, banks, attorneys, and investors throughout the entire EB-5 process.

“Informed investors include an evaluation of the operational aspects as part of their overall due diligence before investing,” said Reid Thomas, NES Financial Executive Vice President. “EB-5 issuers that take the steps to meet this demand will not only be more successful in the completion of their project, but their investors will also be more likely to succeed in their immigration objectives.”
