COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credit Program has launched a new application round, offering significant opportunities for property owners and developers to revitalize historic buildings. This initiative, spearheaded by the Ohio Department of Development, aims to transform these underutilized structures into vibrant community assets, thereby preserving Ohio's rich architectural legacy.

**What Happened**  
The Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credit Program, established to incentivize the rehabilitation of historic properties, has entered its 37th round. Since its inception, the program has successfully facilitated the rehabilitation of 1,032 historic buildings across 95 communities in Ohio. The program provides tax credits to property owners and developers who undertake the restoration of qualifying historic structures. Lydia Mihalik, the director of the Department of Development, emphasized the dual benefit of this initiative: "Historic buildings don’t have to be reminders of what a community once was – they can be part of what it becomes." The application process is now open, with several key deadlines approaching: interested parties must request a pre-application meeting with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) by July 31, submit an intent to apply by August 14, and complete the application by September 30\. The awards will be announced by December 31.

**What This Means for Your Business**  
For businesses in the AECM sector, this program represents a lucrative opportunity to engage in projects that not only enhance community value but also leverage significant tax incentives. By participating, companies can expand their portfolios in historic preservation and urban revitalization, potentially leading to increased business opportunities and revenue streams. Furthermore, the program aligns with sustainable development goals, providing a competitive edge in the current market that increasingly values sustainability and heritage conservation. Businesses should also consider the compliance and documentation requirements, ensuring all submissions align with the program’s guidelines to maximize the potential benefits.

**What US Operators Should Watch**  
Key dates for the Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credit Program include the SHPO pre-application meeting request deadline on July 31, the intent to apply deadline on August 14, and the final application deadline on September 30\. The documentation review period runs from September 1 to December 1, with awards announced by December 31\. US operators should closely monitor these timelines to ensure timely submissions and capitalize on the funding opportunities available. Staying informed about these deadlines is crucial for securing a place in this competitive program and accessing the tax credits offered.
