 HB 42 Passes in the House!


On Wednesday, June 24, the Historic Preservation Incentive Program was passed by the House of Representatives by a 193-2 vote. 
 
This legislation will provide:
·   Grants of up to $15,000 for rehabilitation of historic residential buildings;
·    State tax credits of up to $500,000 for rehabilitation of historic commercial properties; and
·    Priority funding to properties located in Main Street and Elm Street areas, Enterprise Zones and Historic Districts.
 
The bill now heads to the Senate.  Preliminary meetings have occurred with a few Senators to lay the groundwork for this legislation to move through the Senate as smoothly as possible. 
 
If you have the opportunity to speak to any Senators, please express your interest in the bill.

With only two part-time paid staff members,  the majority of our work hours are donated by our volunteers. If you would like to become involved in our efforts to be more aware of issues affecting the downtown, to get to know more of your neighbors or simply for the positive feeling of making your community a better place to live, work and play, please contact us.

The following individuals have volunteered their time to help fulfill our mission by serving on our committees or otherwise contributing their services.  They all have their individual reasons for doing so, but collectively they participate unselfishly for the good of the downtown.  Some donate more time than others, but all have or are helping to make a difference -- with the truest of good intentions and very little personal benefit-- and for that we sincerely thank them:
