About Historical Preservation Tax Credits 

Since its inception in 1998, the Historic Tax Credit continues to be an important program which helps to support more than $10 billion in private investment in the renovation of historic communities. More than preserving individual buildings, this program creates jobs and contributes to local economies by spurring development and investment in blighted areas.
