Historic Preservation Committee By Jim Peiker, Committee Chair
Many people look at historic preservation as primarily a warm, fuzzy activity saving our architectural and historical heritage. Here in Colorado, historic preservation has a large economic impact as well. The following information comes from "The Economic Benefits of Historic Preservation in Colorado", a publication of the Colorado Historical Foundation.
Property owners in Colorado turn to three programs to help them rehabilitate historic buildings: Grants distributed through the State Historic Fund, a federal tax credit and a state tax credit. With minimal public cost, these programs have generated vast amounts of private capital devoted to historic preservation. In summary:
- Between 1993 and 2001, the State Historic Fund distributed over $62.8 million in grants to 849 Colorado rehabilitation projects, with an additional $355.2 million contributed through public and private matching funds.
- Between 1981 and 2000, 301 Colorado projects with a combined total project cost of $461.6 million utilized the federal rehabilitation tax credit.
- Between 1991 and 2000, 385 Colorado projects with a combined total cost of $32.4 million utilized the state rehabilitation tax credit.
