In 2020, $2,600,000 in state income tax credits were available to projects that enhance the historic character and improve building safety of older and historic commercial and community buildings in these designated communities. The credits support general rehabilitation work, code compliance work, and façade improvements, and may be combined with the federal program.
An announcement of the next round of funding will be made in the spring of 2021 with applications made available at that time. The next deadline to apply is July 1, 2021
