Book excerpt: Since it was first published in 1994, The Economics of Historic Preservation: A Community Leaders Guide has become an essential reference for any preservationist faced with convincing government officials, developers, property owners, business and community leaders, or his or her own neighbors that preservation strategies can make good economic sense. Author Donovan D. Rypkemareal estate consultant and nationally known speaker and writermakes his case with 100 "arguments" on the economic benefits of historic preservation, each backed up by one or more quotes from a study, paper, publication, speech, or report. In this eagerly awaited 2005 edition, he gives these arguments even more clout by adding new information and insights gained in the last decade. Count on Rypkema to be entertaining, provocative, and convincing as he describes and demonstrates how strategies that include preservation help communities make cost-effective use of resources, create jobs, provide affordable housing, revive downtowns, build tourism, attract new businesses and workers, and more.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Economic Benefits of Historic Preservation: The Impact of Historic Preservation on Local Economics in Georgia During 1986 and 1987 the Georgia General Assembly appointed special Study Committees to examine the role of historic preservation in the State's economic development. Committee members heard repeatedly of preservation's tremendous impact. Many people appearing before the Committees presented hard economic data to support their testimony. It was clear that relatively small public investments in preservation could leverage much larger private investments about 15 private dollars for every public dollar spent. The Committee report urged the Historic Preservation Section of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources to undertake a study which would examine the economic impact of a broad range of preservation activities and provide a model framework which could be used to document and measure this impact. In 1987 the Historic Preservation Section of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, which serves as the State Historic Preservation Office, received a Preservation Services Fund Grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation. This grant funded a study to document the effects of historic preservation on the economy of Georgia and to design a methodology for measurement of this impact. The study was conducted between April and November of 1988. Although the study's original intent was to produce a measuring tool or framework which could be applied statewide, the focus was eventually narrowed to examine the impact of preservation in the context of a local economy. A case-study approach was used in five Georgia cities: Athens, Macon, Rome, Thomasville and Valdosta. It is hoped that in a future study, building on this material, a statewide methodology for assessing the economic impact of preservation activities can be developed. The present study, undertaken by the Historic Preservation Program of the School of Environmental Design at the University of Georgia for the Historic Preservation Section, documents the economic benefits accruing to these five Georgia communities. Impacts of preservation activity on tangibleeconomic indicators such as property values, retail trends, tourism, the construction industry, employment, taxes and fees have been tracked directly. Preservation's impact on intangibles such as citizen involvement, community pride and image, and quality of life was addressed in three of the five cities through a telephone opinion poll. The data was collected according to a methodology that other cities and communities will be able to use. These two bodies of data are complementary, and when joined present a full picture of the impacts, both real and perceived, of preservation.

Download or read book Economic Impact of Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit Programs in Virginia written by and published by Preservation Virginia. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virginia has been a national leader in historic preservation for many years. One of the many areas where this is reflected is in the use of historic tax credits in the Commonwealth. As of FY 2012, the most recent year for which such data are available, Virginia ranks third in the nation in total dollar volume of estimated qualified rehabilitation expenditures at project completion, behind only Massachusetts and Missouri. Preservation Virginia retained the VCU Center for Urban and Regional Development to conduct an analysis of the economic impacts of historic rehabilitation, financed in part through the Virginia Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit Program and the Federal Historic Tax Credit Program, from 1997 to 2013. This analysis builds upon reports and updates completed by VCU for the Virginia Department of Historic Resources in 2007, 2010 and 2012. Like those earlier reports, this study documents the significant economic returns that Virginia realizes from preserving and re-using historic properties. Similarly, a study published in 2012 by Virginia’s Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission concluded that unlike some tax preference programs that do not achieve their stated goals, Virginia’s Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit Program effectively achieves the goal of promoting the rehabilitation of historic structures. Although this report is able to document only the easily quantifiable returns of economic activity and tax revenues, historic preservation brings many additional benefits to society. These include aesthetic and psychological benefits that help citizens understand their heritage and which improve the attractiveness of places to residents, businesses and tourists. Ultimately, these impacts strengthen the economy and augment the tax base as well. Tax credit usage in Virginia has occurred more often in urban areas, such as Richmond, Hampton Roads, Northern Virginia and Roanoke, than in rural areas. This is understandable, since urban areas have more buildings, as well as a larger percentage of the stock of historic buildings. However, tax credit-financed projects have been completed in most communities throughout the Commonwealth, reflecting both the utility and perhaps the future expansion potential of this program. (See Map ES 1, below.) From 2000 (when the Virginia Historic Tax Credit was raised to 25% of qualified rehabilitation expenditures) through 2011 (the most recent year for which all Virginia tax credit projects have been completed and certified), an average of 174 projects have been certified each year. The number of rehabilitation projects increased steadily from 1997 to 2005, when it reached its peak of 235 projects certified per year. The Great Recession of 2008-09, which had a very significant effect on the construction industry overall, caused a moderate decline in historic rehabilitation activity.
