Historic Preservation Tax Credit seeks $100 million to provide ‘more equitable’ restoration across Michigan

The Michigan Historic Preservation tax credit, signed into law in 2020, currently allows renovators of historic buildings across the state to apply to receive a portion of a $5 million pool of tax credits. But now, the Michigan Historic Preservation Network (MHPN) says that Michigan’s rehabilitation needs are 20 times that amount. 

Representative Joey Andrews (D-38) sponsored House Bill 54390, a resolution to expand the Michigan State Historic Preservation Tax Credits pool from $5 million to $100 million.
