Midwest EB-5 Regional Center

The Midwest EB-5 Regional Center (MERC) was established in March of 2010 with the interest of serving the Greater Cincinnati metropolitan area of Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky. MERC currently is approved to work in seven counties, including Boone, Kenton and Campbell Counties in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, as well as Hamilton, Butler, Warren and Clermont Counties in the State of Ohio. The Midwest EB-5 Regional Center has an approved Target Employment Area (See “Overview”) in Hamilton County within the Cincinnati city limits. In the future, the Regional Center plans to expand its scope to work in other counties and Target Employment Areas through out the Midwest Region.

RAISE Program

The Midwest EB-5 Regional Center continues to serve investors beyond the green card process. MERC is committed to ensuring that our clients have a smooth transition to life in the United States. MERC understands that each family immigrating to the US is different, with unique needs. The RAISE program assists each family according to their needs to help find a home, schools, legal and financial services in order to provide peace of mind when moving to a new place.
