Westminster Historic District Commission

Wednesday, May 2, 2018 Westminster Branch Library 50 East Main Street 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM If you’re thinking about renovating an older home or building, we would like to meet with you about your project at a FREE Historic Tax Credit program training! Representatives from the State will also be present to discuss the Maryland Heritage Structure Rehabilitation Tax Credit Program and provide in-depth information and guidance on the application process to eligible property owners. Did you know that you could be eligible for up to a 10% refund on the expenses of your renovations from your City property taxes? This applies to properties located within the National Register District renovated in a historically sensitive manner. But your proposed renovations have to be approved before you start any work. The City of Westminster’s Historic District Commission invites you to participate in the local Historic Tax Credit program. An important responsibility of the Historic District Commission is educating citizens about local history. This emphasizes the importance of preserving older homes and buildings, often with the help of historic tax credits. The Commissioners’ backgrounds include preservation, archeology, architecture, history, and business. They have direct personal experience repairing, renovating, or modernizing their own homes or commercial buildings. The Commissioners have experience and expertise to share, and they want to learn from you, too. To sign-up or for more Information please contact Andrew Gray at 410-751-5505 or agray@westgov.com
