PLYMOUTH SOUNDINGS, LLC specializes in helping clients access Historic Tax Credits (HTCs) and related opportunities.
Typically, Tax Credit Consultants focus primarily on Tax Credit Financing. However, Plymouth Soundings’ specialty is work-
ing with Theatres from project planning through financing operations during the 5-year Tax Credit compliance period,
and the investor exit. Successful projects that maximize Tax Credit potential, begin planning for Tax Credit financing at
project inception. Darlene (Dee) Smolik personally guides Clients through project financing but also works with Clients to
identify project challenges, opportunities, and solutions throughout the entire project process. Dee can address Historic
Tax Credit spending evaluations, accounting issues, cash flow challenges, entity structure, project tracking, reporting,
operations transition, and Wind Down. Dee’s first-hand knowledge on all these aspects, extensive experience, proven re-
sults, and specialization with Historic Theatres make Plymouth Soundings unique in the industry. www.plymouthsound-
