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. As the nation recovers from the social and economic impacts of COVID-19, the historic tax credit will greatly assist communities rebuild.

The Biden Administration is prioritizing additional economic relief as well as action to address our nation’s infrastructure needs. During the 117th Congress, the historic preservation community has an essential and very real opportunity to build on the progress we have made over many years to strengthen the historic tax credit and improve access to the credit for smaller and more difficult projects. Join the National Trust for Historic Preservation and urge your elected representatives to strengthen the Historic Tax Credit in any forthcoming infrastructure or COVID-19 relief legislation.
