Using Historic Tax Credits in New York

June 24, 2009
New York Athletic Club
New York, NY

Conference Overview

Across America, the federal Historic Tax Credit (HTC) has grown into a key financing tool for economic development, historic preservation, and neighborhood revitalization. There have been a number of exciting HTC projects in New York City including buildings as diverse as Manhattan apartments, Brooklyn warehouses, community centers and even theaters. Some of these projects have also taken advantage of additional financial programs such as the New Markets Tax Credit and the Low Income Housing Tax Credit. Even so, use of these programs here is often said to be less than in other cities. Through case studies and expert panels, this conference explores when and how HTCs have been used successfully to finance projects throughout the boroughs of New York. Urban-oriented and inherently green, the federal Historic Tax Credit holds financial and civic potential for New York as a low-cost source of cash for rehabilitating historic buildings. Join us for this one-day conference to learn from the experts how it’s done.
