This May, our Preservation Month theme of “People Saving Places” will be a national high-five to everyone doing the great work of saving places—in ways big and small—and inspiring others to do the same. Check out our resources to help you spread the word in your community.

State Historic Tax Credit Resource Guide and Data Center 

With more than 70 percent of states adopting some form of historic tax credit incentive to support building reuse, the utility and success of this preservation policy is clear. As states look to strengthen and tailor these incentives, this Resource Guide offers an overview of the tangible benefits of historic tax credit programs, the elements of top-performing credits, and a state-by-state comparative analysis of key features.  The Data Center  tool allows them to compare up to three state programs at one time as well as a way to compare specific features of a state historic tax credit against all other programs.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation gratefully acknowledges the generous support of David and Julia Uihlein who made the development of the Resource Guide and interactive mapping tool possible.
