Columbus, OH – Heritage Ohio announced the latest in their Historical Tax Credit Coffee series set for June 19, 2017 at 9:00 a.m. at the Wyandot Chamber of Commerce, 108 E. Wyandot Ave, Upper Sandusky, OH 43351. Heritage Ohio created the series to introduce individuals and communities to the concept of rehabilitating older commercial buildings, using the federal 20% and Ohio 25% historic tax credits and introducing the people who run the program on behalf of Ohio’s Development Services Agency and the State Historic Preservation Office.
Heritage Ohio’s director, Joyce Barrett, summarized the workshop concept: “We recognized there is an audience that just wants a brief introduction before they commit to hours of research. In one quick hour, we can show how it works and introduce the people who manage the program. They are great people working to help get buildings restored, not faceless bureaucrats.”
Program presenters:
Nathan Bevil, a reviewer with the department at the State Historic Preservation Office, which reviews the historical integrity of the proposed work
Lisa Brownell, from Ohio Development Services Agency who assists applicants in applying for the competitive Ohio program
Barb Powers, who oversees the National Register process for Ohio.
The “coffees” will take place on a whirlwind tour of four communities on June 19th: Upper Sandusky 9 am, Kenton at 11:30, Wapakoneta at 2:30 and Celina at 5:00 pm. There is no charge to attend.
Heritage Ohio has organized “coffees” in 23 courthouse-communities in the past year and a half. Barrett stated: “The combination of the 20% federal and 25% state historic tax credits may appear too good to be true, but it is real, come find out more.”
