Historic Preservation Rehabilitation Investment Tax Credit Workshop
Tuesday, July 16th - 8:30am – 4:30pm
William Penn Hotel – Pittsburgh, PA
Rehabilitation of historic buildings is a key element of sustainable development and economic opportunity for communities, property owners and developers. The federal rehabilitation investment tax credit program (RITC) is a key tool in financing many historic rehabilitation projects. Additionally, as of July 1, 2013, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will provide a state rehabilitation tax credit that mirrors the RITC.
To assist design professionals in providing relevant services to clients and to provide crucial information to property owners and developers, this workshop will teach the requirements of the RITC and new state tax credit programs. This course will provide participants with the appropriate state and federal agency contacts, basic program requirements, the process of program application and project design considerations. Workshop participants will learn fundamental aspects of federal and state tax considerations of the RITC as well as how applying the RITC to development projects works in practice.
