Tax Advantages For Restoring Historic Structures
As a national Register Historic District, many of our buildings qualify for the 20% federal tax credit for restoration work. They also can qualify for “façade gifts” deductions. We can work with your tax advisor to explore these opportunities. Contact Ed Graf edgpgh@aol.com.
