The Federal Historic Tax Credit Needs Your Support!

We ask our New York preservation allies to continue voicing your support of the federal historic tax credit program, which supports rehabilitation of historic buildings across the state.

The recent U.S. House infrastructure legislation included provisions to improve the federal historic tax credit — which would improve its functionality here in New York! Read more.

The best way you can help right now in NYS is to call Senator's Schumer's office at 202.224.3121.

  • Introduce your self as a constituent.

  • Explain the importance of the federal historic tax credit in historic preservation and that it has not been meaningfully improved since the 1980s.

  • Ask for the Senator’s support in protecting the Historic Tax Credit provisions in the House Reconciliation Infrastructure Bill. The current draft would benefit all HTC-eligible projects from Main Street to large-scale rehabilitation efforts across the country.

Phone calls Senator's office is the most effective advocacy at this time when the Congress is in ongoing negotiations. However, please feel free to also follow-up with any personal contacts you have in his office or send an electronic message.
