NTCIC — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 15:36:10 +0000

Today, you can do something small to help a program that has a big impact on our historic places.

Join our effort to protect and enhance the federal historic tax credit, a program that brings dollars to our historic communities — saving the stories they tell, creating jobs and turning places we live into places we love.

But don’t just take our word for it. Watch this short video on how the historic tax credit enabled the conversion of a vacant tin can factory into affordable housing and collaborative space for educators—saving a vital piece of Baltimore’s historic fabric in the process.

The federal historic tax credit is the type of investment our country needs. If you agree, please sign our pledge to join us in protecting the historic tax credit from tax reform on Capitol Hill. We’ll keep you informed of how together we can keep this credit in communities where it preserves our heritage and grows our economy. Thank you!

Executive Summary of the Annual Report on the Economic Impact of the Federal Historic Tax Credit for FY 2012 now available

NTCIC — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 17:40:52 +0000

The Annual Report on the Economic Impact of the Federal Historic Tax Credit for FY 2012 analyzes the economic impact of the HTC program since its inception and concludes that it is a highly efficient job creator—accounting for the creation of over 2.3 million new jobs over the life of the program; 57,783 of which were generated in FY 2012. It also underscores the need for additional legislation to strengthen the federal credits, making them more widely available for smaller projects and also encouraging their use for green and sustainable rehab projects. Talking points/handout document can be accessed here.

The study was conducted by researchers at the Rutgers University Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, in collaboration with the National Park Service.
