OPPOSE 2 YR SUSPENSION OF OHIO HISTORIC PRESERVATION TAX CREDIT

I guess tax credits are ONLY for big business?

Please don't do this. Historic preservation matters. There's much to do. The 1891 Sorg Opera House in Middletown depends on you.

This is a no brainer. What is there to reassess? If anything, the Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credit should be expanded. The positive impact on Cleveland has been tremendous.

I am a lifelong Columbus resident who supports the Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credit.

The credit makes money for the state, helps broaden the tax base, spurs development of surrounding properties and is the deciding factor in the renovation of many large scale older buildings in major cities as well as smaller projects in small Ohio cities. The credit should be maintained.

please reconsider

As a member of both the Ohio History Center and the Columbus Landmarks Foundation I find it appalling that the legislature may suspend this tax credit. There are so few "old" sites remaining in Ohio compared to other states and countries I have traveled through, that I fear if this remains in the budget, Ohio will end up on the bottom of yet another list of worst states in the country. We can and should be better than that. Restore the Historic Preservation Tax Credit.

please reconsider your opposition to the historic preservation tax credit suspension.

Our shared history belongs to future generations and we owe it to our children and their children to be stewards of what we have inherited.

The historic tax credit program has been an extremely successful program of saving our history, creating jobs and revitalizing neighborhoods/business district. Why would we even considering doing away with one of the few things government gets right??

The purpose of the historic tax credit is to encourage preservation of historically important buildings. This work generates jobs for those who specialize in this work. Without this credit, those jobs will go unfilled and the buildings will continue to deteriorate.

Reusing old buildings saves money AND energy AND construction waste. Who in their right mind would be against this?

Save our history!

Funding is necessary to support the preservation of our state's outstanding architecture and history. Christopher Fountain

it is important that we preserve our architectural landmarks in Ohio. Please continue this Tax credit!

Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it, limiting the knowledge citizens have a rite to will make it so that these fallacies will happen again

Please do not be short-sighted. Keeping the Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credit is one of the keys to moving forward with the restoration of cities in Ohio.

These credits help revitalize urban, suburban, and rural Ohio communities!

When did The Public give up our right to support public entities and give it all to private corporations?

Right here in Columbus the Historic Preservation Tax Credits have enabled many people to restore historic properties and help revitalize our city.
