This one-day workshop will introduce you to the Kentucky Historic Preservation Tax Credit that is now available to owners of historic properties that are investing in the rehabilitation of those historic buildings.   For properties that are for commercial use, the credit allowed is 20% of the amount invested by the owner over a 24 month period.  For properties that are used as private residences the credit allowed is 30% of the amount invested.  Non-profit organizations that own historic properties can also take advantage of this program by transferring the credits earned. 

If you own a historic building or manage a non-profit organization that is housed in a historic building, you will want to come and learn more about this financial incentive offered in Kentucky. Presenters will include staff from the Kentucky Heritage Council, the state historic preservation office, and from Liberty Hall Historic Site.  Participants will have lunch at the Orlando Brown House (1835) and tour Liberty Hall (1796) to see the rehabilitation work already completed and hear about plans for work still to be done.  

WHO SHOULD COME:

• Owners of historic commercial properties
• Owners who live in historic homes
• Managers of historic properties used by non- profit organizations
• Preservation Professionals 
• Architects with clients in historic properties
