The Ohio Department of Development recently announced that it has “awarded $35.8 million in Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credits to 18 owners planning to rehabilitate 44 historic buildings in 10 communities across the state,” according to a press release from the department. The awards, “made possible through renewal of the program in the state's Fiscal Year 2012-2013 budget,” should result in projects that create both construction and permanent jobs, the release said.
The Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credit program provides a 25 percent tax credit to owners of historically significant buildings for qualified rehabilitation expenses. Funding is awarded through competitive application rounds and is based on economic benefit and regional distributive balance.
