Historic Tax Credit Program Recommendations - Nov 17th Meeting

The Governor’s Tax Credit Review Commission (TCRC) reviewed the final Historic Tax Credit Sub-Committee’s report November 17th.  The Historic Tax Credit Sub-Committee recommended keeping the $140 Million dollar cap in place as a change in cap will not have a direct impact and will not have an immediate effect on the state’s budget.

It had been determined overwhelmingly that uninhibited market forces determines the level of redevelopment that takes place in our urban cores and the level of HTC’s will rise and fall as a result.
