The Groups Historic Bill
West Virginia groups historic rehab tax credits into one article
Historic Rehab Building Credit Act
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the bill would combine existing historic rehab tax credits into a single, easier-to-use section while keeping current owners eligible.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
People who own old buildings could still claim tax breaks, and the new layout may make the process simpler, but the change also adds new rules that could favor larger developers over small owners.
