State Historic Tax Credits:
Opportunities for Affordable Housing and Sustainability
Jun 29, 2023 03:00 PM EST
The world of redevelopment and state historic tax credits is changing to help address two of our country’s most pressing challenges – creating more affordable housing and lowering carbon emissions.
Retrofitting existing buildings dramatically reduces future operational carbon emissions released as result of heating, cooling, lighting, cooking, etc. Retrofitting buildings to increase their energy efficiency also has the potential to significantly reduce the amount of operational carbon released into the atmosphere. Meanwhile those creating affordable housing are twinning low-income tax credits with historic tax credits to redevelop empty upper floors on Main Street to underutilized commercial and former industrial buildings.
Hear experts in the field of historic preservation, affordable housing, and sustainability share their perspectives and get the first look at a new report by the National Trust for Historic Preservation – State Historic Tax Credits: Opportunities for Affordable Housing and Sustainability.
