The Proposes Credit Bill
Arizona proposes tax credit for historic building rehab
Income tax credit; historic preservation
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, owners who fix old historic buildings could get a state tax credit, but they'd pay a processing fee and agree not to change the building for two years.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The bill could help preserve community history and create jobs, but it also adds fees and limits owners' freedom, so people should watch the debate now.
