Deferred Maintenance at the National Park Service
#FixOurParks

After decades of underfunding, the National Park Service faces a deferred maintenance backlog estimated at nearly $12 billion, of which approximately 47 percent is attributed to historic assets. Join us in asking your Representative to cosponsor and support the Restore Our Parks and Public Lands Act (H.R. 1225)—bipartisan legislation that will help address this backlog. Ask your members of Congress to cosponsor and support legislation that addresses the deferred maintenance backlog at national parks.

Strengthen the Federal Historic Tax Credit
#HistoricTaxCredit

The historic tax credit (HTC) has a proven track record of kickstarting job creation and attracting private investment, while preserving tangible links to our past. But with some strategic improvements, this vital program can do even more—specifically for smaller projects typically located in Main Streets and more rural areas. The Historic Tax Credit Growth & Opportunity Act would do just that. Join the National Trust for Historic Preservation in urging your lawmaker to support this important legislation!
