CINCINNATI (WKRC) – Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, Lt. Governor Jim Tressel, and Ohio Department of Development Director Lydia Mihalik announced over $66 million in tax credits to aid the preservation and revitalization of historic buildings across the state. A total of 39 projects — 11 of them local — will work to preserve 47 buildings throughout the state.
The funding is part of the Historic Preservation Tax Credit Program, which aims to encourage private investment in the rehabilitation of historic structures by offering financial incentives for redevelopment.

Thanks to these tax credits, these buildings will contribute to Ohio’s future as well.”…
