Project Background

This client operates a network of acute care hospitals and behavioral health facilities across Texas and the broader United States. Across its Texas facilities, the company invested between $10 million and $60 million per hospital to expand and renovate, modernize emergency departments, upgrade equipment, and enhance patient services.

Results & Impact

Enterprise Zone Strategy

Scimemi LLC worked with the client to develop a comprehensive Texas Enterprise Zone filing strategy across its hospital network. Because multiple facilities were eligible for the program, we carefully timed the submission of applications to ensure the projects did not compete against each other during the same designation round. This coordinated approach maximized approval likelihood and produced significant efficiencies—allowing us to deliver high-quality applications at a lower overall cost.

Hospitals frequently qualify for the Texas Enterprise Zone Program through projects such as facility upgrades, new equipment purchases, and the addition of new services.

Enterprise Zone Award

The client was awarded six Texas Enterprise Project designations, entitling the company to receive more than $6 million in state sales and use tax refunds.

Our Role and Impact
Scimemi LLC prepared six complete Enterprise Project applications within a short timeframe while minimizing the burden on the client’s internal teams. By standardizing the process and applying a coordinated, system-wide strategy, we ensured consistency across all submissions and positioned each project for success. Every application was approved, resulting in six designations statewide. This efficient approach delivered exceptional value, reduced costs, and allowed the client to capture the maximum benefit available under the program.
